What survives of Martin's BBC output is perhaps a fraction of what once aired over the course of nearly 56 years of moments on the usually ephemeral medium of broadcasting, yet its range and heft is remarkable - an alternative career history and testament to a truly singular artistry: 22½ hours, 328 tracks (two thirds from a master source) of which there are 237 distinct items of repertoire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68043428856062,"sku":null,"price":399.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1546\/6351\/files\/BOXCOVERART.jpg?v=1794505675","url":"https:\/\/encorerecords.ca\/products\/20cd-martin-carthy-along-the-road-forever-live-at-the-bbc","provider":"Encore Records Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
