Released in October 1980, Grace and Danger is widely regarded as one of John Martyn's most personal and emotionally revealing albums - This 180g vinyl re-issue faithfully replicates the original Island UK pressing.
Written and recorded during the breakdown of his marriage to fellow musician Beverley Martyn, the record captures a period of profound heartache, uncertainty and reflection in Martyn's life. Its intensely autobiographical nature was so striking that Island Records founder Chris Blackwell delayed its release for more than a year, reportedly finding the material too painful and disturbing. Martyn later described it as "the most specific piece of autobiography" he had ever written.
