Subject: RE: Bert Jansch and Jimmy Page
Unfortunately, Bert's musical virtuosity wasn't matched by his business acumen. Remember, Nat Joseph sold the recording of Bert's immense first album for a flat £100 - with no royalties subsequently payable. It's still on the shelves today.
Bert seemed to have a knack for attracting people only too ready to take advantage of him, both musically and financially. The wonder is that he managed to come through it all relatively unscathed.
