RICHARD AND LINDA THOMPSON
Hard Luck Stories 1972-1982
8xCD box set

£100.00
Condition: VG / VG
Label: UMC
Catalogue No: 7768997
2020 career retrospective containing all the duo's 6 albums plus 31 unreleased bonus tracks, the pick of which-for me-are the live tracks recorded in 1977 with a band consisting of ex-members of Mighty Baby. The version of "Night Comes In" from that show has a guitar solo by Thompson that beggars description. The box also includes a 70 hardback book with liner notes and lots of photos.
