Each album is pressed on 180g vinyl and features a newly designed heavyweight sleeve and subsequent release will mirror this format to build into a unique collection. Each edition will also feature a unique track not to be found on the CD version. A personally selected and sequenced compilation by Martin Simpson. This new addition to Topics series of introductory overviews of the labels most renowned artists includes an exclusively recorded track by Martin, a wonderful solo acoustic version of Leon Rosselsons Palaces of Gold. Martin Simpson has spearheaded the generation of folk musicians who only began recording in the mid-70s and is now readily acknowledged as one of the most original and skilful folk guitarists currently playing on the British and American folk scene. It was as a defining instrumentalist and interpreter of predominantly traditional British and American folk material that Simpson first established himself. For too long Martin Simpson was a well-kept secret outside the folk world, until albums such as Kind Letters and Prodigal Son received overdue widespread recognition.
