As 'Sailor!' was only released on tape in 1991 in a very limited quantity, Lollipoppe Shoppe decided to give it a proper release on CD. But this is not a straight reissue. The album now is an enhanced sea adventure in two chapters dealing with life on sea and the temptations of mermaids. Eight unreleased songs have been added, recorded by John and friends during their travels in Poland and England in 1992 and 1996. Above that all the music has been recently mastered to the volume level that John had originally envisioned. John Townley is associated with various musical projects by different groups of people. For some he's the driving force behind the double-album by The Family of Apostolic (1968) and the follow up Ocean, for others the guitarist of folk-rock garage-heroes The Magicians (1965-66).
