Richard Thompson - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: In Concert, Town and Country Club, London, Britain, 8-18-1991

Months ago, I posted a poll about posting more albums from people's favorite musical acts. I've been distracted by a lot of things since then, including new polls, but I want to keep going back to that. So here's another BBC album from one of the top voters from that poll, Richard Thompson.

This is a concert from 1991, the year Thompson released the studio album "Rumour and Sigh." It got a lot of critical acclaim, and I believe its probably his best solo album. This concert heavily leans into that album, with eight songs out of the 11 songs coming from it. Note also this was performed with a full band.

There was one problem with this recording, and that was the very common problem of the lead vocals being too low in the mix. So, as usual, I fixed that with the use of the UVR5 audio editing program.

The music here is unreleased, and the sound quality is close to excellent.

This album is 58 minutes long. That means the BBC edited down a longer concert to fit in an hour-long radio show slot.
