{"product_id":"live-in-australia","title":"Live In Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is something quite special about a live album—provided you can get over the envy at not having been present(!) It can sound a lot better than the gig itself without the risk of one’s toes being trodden or a shower of a fellow reveller’s beer. Certainly a Bert Jansch gig was a treat however you experienced it, especially when he was at the top of his game, as captured on \u003ci\u003eDownunder: Live In Australia\u003c\/i\u003e. Eschewing the familiar stalwarts of previous live sets, this memorable recording saw Jansch debut two new (at the time) songs; \u003ci\u003eDownunder\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMy Donald\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eLittle Max\u003c\/i\u003e which never had a studio outing (but will feature among the recently discovered home recordings in Earth’s 2017 Living In The Shadows collection). There is a warmth about this recording which echoes that of Live at The 12 Bar, recorded three years before. It’s mostly just Bert and his guitar, with the a welcome addition of intuitively placed flourishes of bass and percussion. This ambience is heightened by Brian Pyle’s sensitive remastering, bringing a real intimacy to this enduring collection of songs. Recorded live at Continental Cafe, Melbourne, Australia in March 1998. Pete Howell (bass); Ian Clarke (percussion). Liner notes by Colin Harper. Remastered from original tapes by Brian Pyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP – Single sleeve, printed inner, download card included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Earth Recordings","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50479257256267,"sku":"1003952","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50479257649483,"sku":"1003953","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/18e415e0-b7a1-46ea-95fd-eed3335e5958_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727505290","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/live-in-australia","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
