It Don't Bother Me
The second album, made within months of the debut and fronted by a sleeve that made Jansch look like a rock star.
Bert Jansch, 1965
- Released

Released in December 1965 as Transatlantic TRA 132, it followed the debut within the same year. Nathan Joseph produced it and Ray Prickett engineered it, and it was recorded at Pye Studios in London.
John Renbourn, then Jansch's flatmate, wrote the liner notes. Gavin Martin of Classic Rock gave the 2015 reissue seven out of ten and called it a snapshot of a talent in the ascendant. The Guardian later remembered the sleeve, on which Jansch looks sideways at the camera while a friend slouches on a mattress behind him.
