Big MuffCollectors Items
Food For Collectors..
Published 1st February, 2007This section contains some real gems that are hard to find. Also you can find quite a few Voiceprint releases, often announced as 'Collectors Series' carrying the One World label. But also other names are used.
Most of the One World releases originate from restored live casette tapes, mainly by lack of any alternative recordings. The philosophy behind these projects is that musical, historical or sentimental value exceeds the interest of technical sound quality.
Live At Leeds Deluxe Edition
Published 6th September, 2010
The Bottom Line:
Fine reconstruction of historical evening.
This is not the same album as the original Live At Leeds; instead it offers the tapes of the concert itself. So most of the material is unreleased.
I'd Rather Be The Devil (Special Edition)
Published 23rd November, 2009
The Bottom Line:
Permanent put together a lot of material. What's new? The box.
The July Wakes
Published 13th October, 2008
The Bottom Line:
Two CDs of bootleg live material.
Tracks 1-14 recorded at the July Wakes Festival, Charnock Richard, Chorley, 25 July 1976.
Tracks 15-17 recorded at Kennys Castaways, New York, 19 June 1977.
The Simmer Dim
Published 9th June, 2008
The Bottom Line:
Another restored live tape.
Live at the Garrison Theatre, Lerwick, 12 August 1980.
Back Street Crawler - Deluxe Edition
Published 17th March, 2008

Published 1st November, 2007
The Bottom Line:
One of the last folk performances.
Sixty Minutes With...
Published 16th April, 2007
The Bottom Line:
Voiceprint produces another useless compilation.
Couldn't Love You More, No Little Boy, Live At Leeds, Kendal 1986.
Couldn't Love You More (expanded)
Published 2nd April, 2007
The Bottom Line:
A rerelease of material that John did not want to be released with a bonus.
The bonus tracks are both from Live At Bristol 1991 so from the same period; Couldn't Love You More and Never Let Me Go.
Grace & Danger Deluxe Edition
Published 12th February, 2007
The Bottom Line:
Fine rerelease of genuine classic with interesting bonus material.
The outtakes are not as good as the remastered songs, though.
The One World Sampler
Published 6th November, 2006
The Bottom Line:
Voiceprint throws in an unreleased bonus track: Amsterdam.
"Over 70 minutes of John Martyn from the One World catalogue"
On Air
Published 8th May, 2006
The Bottom Line:
Vintage German radio recording of outstanding quality.
Live At Leeds And More
Published 30th January, 2006
The Bottom Line:
Useless compilation of Voiceprint stuff
Live in Nottingham 1976

Solo gig with very good sound quality considering the CD was made from a 29 year old tape.
Live In Dublin (with Danny Thompson)
Published 28th February, 2005
The Bottom Line:
Unofficial release of a Irish broadcast with good atmosphere.
