Bert Jansch – Bert Jansch

A landmark debut from one of the most influential British folk guitarists of the 20th century, Bert Jansch (Transatlantic TRA 125) is a raw, intimate album that reshaped the possibilities of folk and blues. Originally released in 1965, this is the album that launched Bert Jansch into legend, influencing artists from Nick Drake to Jimmy Page.

Recorded on a reel-to-reel tape recorder in a London flat, the record captures Jansch's intricate guitar work and poetic lyricism in their purest form. His take on folk blues is personal, urgent, and innovative—melding the traditional with the contemporary.
