Really neat compilation of past interviews with Richard with Terri Gross of Fresh Air, with cuts from a new boxed set covering forty years of his music! Great music, great interviews. It will available HERE, later today.

It'll be interesting to see what's in the boxed set. I've got nearly everythng he's done, including the last major boxed set and booklet, which was excellent.

I heard parts of that this morning. They had a lot of fun during the interviews. Lots of laughter!

Will have to listen this weekend. Incidentally Will FLy-just went over to Bees Web to look at the track listing. Unless there is a lot of alternate or live versions, this box seems to be all of what you and myself (as a big Thompson fan) already own. The Free Reed set really had some true rarities-Push and Shove, Flying Saucer Rock and Roll, etc.

Fifteen of the nineteen tracks on the Rareport Convention disc of the Fairport Unconventional Free Reed box set contain some fine old rarites featuring RT and Fairport. I have the RT box set and this new one would have to go an awfully long way to beat it. For me RT is the final statement on Richard Thompson's musical past

Not a single track that the serious collector didn't already have; obviously we are not the main target group for this compilation. But that's OK; the booklet has a nice essay by Patrick Humphries and lots of rare pictures, so I bought it anyway when it came out a few weeks ago.
