This 180g vinyl re-issue faithfully replicates the original Island UK pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, \u003cem\u003eGrace and Danger\u003c\/em\u003e builds on the atmospheric fusion of folk, jazz, rock, and reggae influences that characterised Martyn's late-1970s work, while placing a stronger emphasis on concise songwriting and emotional directness. The album features notable contributions from drummer and backing vocalist Phil Collins, whose sympathetic playing complements Martyn's expressive guitar work and distinctive vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracks such as 'Sweet Little Mystery', 'Hurt in Your Heart', 'Baby Please Come Home', and the title song explore themes of love, loss, regret, and longing with remarkable honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis vinyl edition offers an immersive listening experience, perfect for fans of atmospheric folk-rock and introspective songwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Martyn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57918099161470,"sku":"B0H5KM4XRZ","price":26.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/3919\/1207\/files\/61f_8PSwf-L_f3039396-9c03-4ac5-9b56-81c60b6d0265.jpg?v=1787737922","url":"https:\/\/www.yachew.com\/products\/grace-danger-vinyl","provider":"Yachew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
