Despite 1982 being a less than harmonious period in the life and career of Richard Thompson - he split with wife and musical partner Linda early in the year and they divorced soon after - creatively it was among his finest. In September of 82 he played three intimate shows at the legendary Gerdes Folk City club in Greenwich Village. These gigs were the subject of two live broadcasts on WBAI Radio. The first of these was included on the Small Town Romance album, but this new CD contains the second broadcast, boasting a set with virtually no crossover in song choices. Another surprise is the inclusion here of two tracks from Richard s splendid first solo album, 1972 s Henry The Human Fly. The gorgeous Old Changing Way and the sublime Nobody s Wedding had allegedly never before been played live by Richard, and if there are better versions in existence than those here I m sure we d all love the hear them. A remarkable version of British music-hall favourite George Formby s Why Don t Women Like Me is given the Thompson treatment and elsewhere, a rare version of Rainbow Over The Hill , the song he donated to the Albion Band for their 1978 opus Rise Up Like The Sun, is included. Choices from Richard and Linda s heyday include three tracks form the then recently released Shoot Out The Lights their final record together - plus cuts from all their studio albums except I Want To See The Bright Lights and Sunnyvista. Genesis Hall , the opening track from the Fairports Unhalfbricking and the Full House traditional Flowers Of The Forest are both included in the set, and Richard has a chance to show-off as only he knows how on the note perfect traditional medley The Inverness Gathering /Maggie Cameron . So there we have it, an absolute treat for Thompson fans and, despite some unavoidable hiss on this rarely heard, near 30-year old broadcast, a clear and sharp sound is present throughout. And despite no longer having the more extrovert Linda to assist with the between-song-patter, Richard is as sharp and humorous and comfortable with the audience as he has remained to this day.
