John Martyn / Best of the Island Years: full track listing

Last week we revealed that Universal Music would be releasing a four-CD ‘highlights’ set of last year’s mammoth John Martyn Island Years box set and today we can reveal the track listing.

This 56-track digest is taken entirely from the outtakes and like the big set runs in chronological order and this new set comes packaged as a hardcover ‘book set’.

The Best of the Island Years is released on 3 November 2014.
