John Martyn’s seminal album from 1975 has been given the Deluxe Edition treatment to celebrate its 35th Anniversary. LIVE AT LEEDS is a live album by John Martyn. He independently released this album himself in an initial run of 10,000 that were numbered and signed, after a disagreement with Island Records about its commercial viability. The working title was Ringside Seat. Photos of Martyn and bassist Danny Thompson in a boxing ring were taken for a prospective cover, though never used. It was recorded on 13 February 1975 (the sleeve incorrectly states October), at Leeds University. Album was released on 12th September 1975. The 1998 re-released version includes five bonus tracks from the show, including the three Paul Kossoff of Free guested on. In 2006 was released a 2CD set, LIVE AT LEEDS AND MORE, comprising all the tracks from the 1998 version plus a 2nd CD of live material not from 1975 at all, recorded between 1979 and 1996, culled from his various One World releases. A 2CD Deluxe Edition was released in 2010 by Universal Music. It contains the 1975 concert in its entirety, complete with hold ups, chatter and profane drunken insults between Martyn and Thompson, with Disc Two including 35 minutes of the afternoon rehearsal as bonus material.

CD1 - CONCERT;
CD2 - CONCERT AND REHEARSALS.

John Martyn toured extensively in 1975 with Danny Thompson, John Stevens on drums and Paul Kossoff on guitar. A full-blooded and uncompromising concert at Leeds University was recorded with a view to releasing a live album, but Island weren’t keen so John produced, designed and sold LIVE AT LEEDS mail-order from his Hastings home. Available from 12 September 1975, the limited edition of 10,000 quickly sold out. Many of the albums were numbered and personally signed by John Martyn, making this a real collector’s album. Even John himself has no copy. The album confirmed his reputation as a witty and original stage performer with a wicked line in banter and repartee, and this, coupled with excellent album reviews, was bringing John Martyn the audience that was to stay with him for years to come. LIVE AT LEEDS is an excellent album, a very honest and straightforward representation of a typical John Martyn concert at a time. In 2010 Island Records released LIVE AT LEEDS: Deluxe Edition the first time that the Leeds concert was released in its entirety along with rehearsal recordings. During research the compiler, John Hillarby, discovered that the versions of ''Outside In'', ''Solid Air'' and ''I’d Rather Be The Devil'' included on the original LP release were not actually recorded during the concert but in London. So to date the original Leeds concert, with the exception of Disc 8 in The Island Years box set from 2013 has never been released in remastered format on either LP or CD. Caroline Records remastered LIVE AT LEEDS from the original master tapes in 2018 with a view to releasing on vinyl. A catalogue number was allocated and test pressings produced and approved, however the release has still not been forthcoming. Thirty-five years after the release of LIVE AT LEEDS later, and still, John Martyn’s fans haven’t tired of his 1975 cult classic. For his legions of fans, it’s a reminder of a musical maverick at the peak of his powers doing what the late, great troubadour was seemingly born to do, playing live.
Recorded Live At Leeds University, Leeds, England On 13th February 1975.
