Simply Vinyl was originally established in 1997 in response to the declining availability of the vinyl lp records on both new and classic back catalogue Rock/Pop titles. Simply Vinyl has been recently relaunched and revitalized under new ownership of music experts and professional investors and new website already listing hundreds of 180g vinyl records on its website www.simplyvinyl.com with many more to come both exclusive and recommended.
In 2011 the very first exclusive release on quality 180g was the classic John Martyn album from 1973 ‘Solid Air’ (SVLP501). Great care was taken, using the latest remastered audio, to create a beautiful reissue of the original release in its gatefold sleeve.
Hi-Fi Choice magazine has chosen John Martyn 180g Vinyl LP release as its ‘Hot Pick’ and awarded a FIVE STAR review:
“….It sounds fabulous……The vinyl lets you hear the quality of playing from the whole ensemble and revels in the tone of Martyn’s velvet voice placed deep in centre stage……Totally essential.”
‘Solid Air’ is considered to be one of the clearest defining moments in British Folk music, whilst Martyn trancends folk, incorporating elements of jazz, blues and rock. The title track was written for John Martyn’s close friend Nick Drake, and became a eulogy when Drake died 18 months after the release, and other classic tracks include ‘Over The Hill’ and ‘May You Never’.
