{"product_id":"the-road-to-ruin-vinyl-lp","title":"The Road To Ruin: Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eA complex and sometimes belligerent character in real life, on record, John Martyn was the epitome of the folk-dreamer, embodying the spirit of the bourgeoning London acoustic scene of the late 60s.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWell- known and respected for his 70s albums\u003cem\u003e Solid Air\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOne World\u003c\/em\u003e, this is where it began.The second and fnal John and Beverley album, \u003cem\u003eThe Road To Ruin\u003c\/em\u003e came out in late 1970; it is a mature, fully realised work, and a glimpse of what would have happened had Island not encouraged John to go back to being a solo artist. Opener \"Primrose Hill\" was later sampled by Fat Boy Slim, and the John-led \"Parcels\" offers a template for what would become his signature style as the decade progressed. It is one of those rare albums that creates its own atmosphere, late night intensity, middle age soul.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1970 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49978781860082,"sku":"UMCLP54","price":7.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/roadtoruinlp.png?v=1787664571","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/the-road-to-ruin-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
