Bert Jansch
Black Birds Of Brittany / Cuckoo
EARTH011
Release Notes
THIS IS A 2016 RECORD STORE DAY RELEASE
- Record Store Day 2016 Exclusive
- Limited to 1000 copies worldwide.
Originally released as part of a split single with Shirley Collins, 1979’s ‘Black Birds Of Brittany’ was recorded – somewhat unsurprisingly – around the same time as Bert’s paean to ornithology, ‘Avocet’. Re-issued exclusively for Record Store Day 2016, and backed by the previously unreleased ‘Cuckoo’ these two tracks are a perfect companion to this beautifully orchestral, experimental album.
Artwork again comes from UK illustrator Hannah Alice (also responsible for Avocet’s charming reinterpretation).
