  • Description

    The early work of Dick Gaughan, a beloved legend of Scottish folk music, has been compiled to create R/Evolution: 1969-83.

    This 7CD & 1DVD Box Set reveals the magnificence of Gaughan's early music to the twenty-first century listener. In March-April 2025, a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign ran with the twin goals of: (1) creating the 7CD+DVD box set and (2) raising some funds for Dick Gaughan himself, retired and visually impaired. With active and generous endorsement from fellow artists including Barbara Dickson, Karine Polwart, Billy Bragg, Patsy Seddon, Chris Brain and Andrew Cronshaw, the campaign was an unmitigated success.

    What's in the box?

    . 126 audio tracks (9 hours) and 37 video tracks (21/2 hours, spanning 1970-2012) from five broadcasters and two amateur documentarists.

    . 83 audio tracks are unreleased (43 BBC session/concert recordings + 40 club/concert recordings) including many songs and tunes never commercially recorded by Dick.

    . All 37 video performances are unreleased (including two otherwise unrecorded Gaughan originals).

    . Maximum variety of repertoire (over 100 distinct songs or tune sets on the audio discs)

    The audio is mastered by Cormac O'Kane and the video content is restored and mastered to stunning effect by Eroc. The set is curated by Bert Jansch/John McLaughlin biographer Colin Harper. Two extensive illustrated booklets are included featuring: (1) a new 10,000-word essay by Graeme Thomson; (2) vintage interview features by Ian A. Anderson, Jerry Gilbert, Fred Woods and Colin Irwin; (3) rare and unpublished photos from Ian A. Anderson, Dave Peabody, Frank Scott, Tom Steenbergen, Barry Plummer and Val Wilmer; (4) song notes by Steve Byrne.

    Crucially, ALL profits will go to Dick Gaughan.
