I've posted a lot of acoustic Richard Thompson music lately. This, by contrast, is him playing with a full band. It's a grab-bag of stray tracks from many different sources. Thompson is very consistent, so if you like his stuff, you'll like this.
This is a fairly even mix of originals that don't appear anywhere else, cover versions, and new versions of songs from earlier in Thompson's career. The latter are: "Time to Ring Some Changes," "Night Comes In," and "The Sun Never Shines on the Poor" from his years as part of the Richard and Linda Thompson duet, and "Now Be Thankful" from his time with Fairport Convention. All these songs are done differently when done as part of Thompson's solo career.
"Persuasion" is one of the better known songs by Thompson. This is an instrumental version from a movie soundtrack. Years later (I think 2001), Tin Finn from Crowded House wrote lyrics for the song. It's the sung version that has been well known, but the instrumental version is still nice.
Only the last two songs are officially unreleased. However, the sound quality on them is as good as the rest. For the live tracks, officially released or not, I removed the crowd noise, as I often do.
This album is 38 minutes long.
