CD Album
Notes Card sleeve. Given away free with Issue 310 of Mojo Magazine dated September 2019 (available in the UK as of 22 July 2019). From Mojo magazine: "The first white act I ever signed was John Martyn", recalls Chris Blackwell, looking back on the history of Island records, the epochal label he founded 60 years ago. "I learned a lot from him. And the first thing I learned was that if you have a record label that's known for putting out Jamaican music, you shouldn't be putting out a crazy Scottish folk-jazz artist on the same label. That was something I missed." The diversity of the Island roster was not, as Blackwell acknowledges, "a help for John Martyn in the beginning." Soon enough, though, Island signings were united by a fearless eclecticism, a willingness to subvert expectations and push boundaries, rather than fitting into a homogeneous sound. These Island Radicals became the irregular heartbeat of the label, and MOJO is proud to present 15 of them on this very special birthday CD. Beginning, aptly, with John Martyn. "He was...beyond, he really was," remembers Blackwell - as were so many of those who followed John Martyn to a home on Island. Images
