A rare fuzz guitar alternate take of his self-written ‘John’s Song’ from 1971 and a previously unreleased live version of Charles Mingus' 'The Shoes Of The Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jive Ass Slippers' from 1972 are the only other Pentangle tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Renbourn solo albums 'Faro Annie' (1972) and 'Just Like Me' aka 'Lost Sessions' (recorded 1972) continue this electric adventure, after which the electric guitar became a more occasional aspect of Renbourn’s recordings, generally absent from his work after the 1970s. This set also includes the rare and beautiful KPM Music Library instrumental album 'The Guitar Of John Renbourn' (1977), three tracks from the John James album 'Head In The Clouds' (1975) that feature Renbourn and another 18 previously unreleased live tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights of these include six tracks with Pentangle vocalist Jacqui McShee live at Stalybridge in 1975, and another four recorded live in France with McShee and American fiddler Sue Draheim that year. The instrumental 'The Pelican', from Renbourn's 1979 album 'The Black Balloon', is included as a showcase for the way Renbourn blends masterful acoustic technique with subtle electric guitar overdubs. The set ends with seven tracks from a fantastic concert by Renbourn at The Cellar Door in Washington, DC in 1979.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE\u003cbr\u003ePentangle (from The Time Has Come, Castle 2007; recorded 1970)\u003cbr\u003e1.  Jack Orion (instrumental edit)\u003cbr\u003eJohn Renbourn – Faro Annie (Transatlantic, 1972)\u003cbr\u003e2.  White House Blues\u003cbr\u003e3.  Buffalo Skinners\u003cbr\u003e4.  Kokomo Blues\u003cbr\u003e5.  Little Sadie\u003cbr\u003e6.  Shake Shake Mamma\u003cbr\u003e7.  Willy O’Winsbury\u003cbr\u003e8.  The Cuckoo\u003cbr\u003e9.  Come On In My Kitchen\u003cbr\u003e10.  Country Blues\u003cbr\u003e11.  Faro Annie\u003cbr\u003e12.  Back On The Road Again\u003cbr\u003eJohn Renbourn \u0026amp; Jacqui McShee, live at Stalybridge 1975\u003cbr\u003e13.  Wedding Dress Song*\u003cbr\u003e14.
