A Collection Of Unreleased And Rare Mate

45th Anniversary re-issue of Richard Thompson's 1976 collection of rarities with Fairport Convention, Linda Thompson and solo, which was originally released after Richard and his wife Linda announced their retirement from the music business. Thankfully, this did not transpire to be Richard's final piece of recorded work, but did become an essential record to fans of Richard's work giving an alternate perspective on his early career. Following an almost two year hiatus, Richard and Linda returned and released 'First Light (Richard and Linda Thompson album)' in 1978 and Richard has remained a prolific songwriter and one of the most respected British folk artists of all time releasing, to date, 22 studio albums and 14 live albums.
