Personally selected and sequenced by Martin Simpson, this new addition to Topic’s series of introductory overviews of the label’s most renowned artists includes an exclusively recorded track by Martin, a wonderful solo acoustic version of Leon Rosselson’s ‘Palaces of Gold’ from his classic 1968 album A Laugh, A Song and a Hand Grenade.This selection of course is the tip of the iceberg but it’s as good a place to start for the uninitiated while long term converts can justsit back and enjoy his ever eclectic, spellbinding and deeply affecting work.
