  • Description

    Consisting entirely of unreleased and impossible-to-find recordings, the set's five CDs explore all aspects of Richard's career - band member, solo, duo, composer and interpreter of other people's songs, live, studio and home demo; and naturally, guitar/vocal. All of Richard's classic songs are included - carefully selected with the help of fans worldwide, acknowledged Thompson experts and RT himself.

    Put together with Richard's generous and extensive co-operation throughout, the set draws on over thirty audio archives including those of the worlds most respected Thompson collectors and from Richard himself. From his early days with Fairport to two studio performances, recorded exclusively for this set, RT spans Richards's whole career of almost forty years. Comes with 172 page book which details his life, career and music.
