Do we know about this? http://blurt-online.com/news/view/4099/"Rhino Handmade drops it on Oct. 12 and the remastered release will now boast a bonus CD featuring 11 unreleased live performances from the tour that the duo embarked upon shortly after its release... The bonus disc documents the tumultuous tour with 11 unreleased live performances, all but one taken from shows in San Francisco and Santa Cruz, California. The songs draw from the Thompsons' records together, including three from the album, "Back Street Slide," "Did She Jump Or Was She Pushed?" and the title track; "Borrowed Time" from Sunnyvista (1979); "Pavanne" from First Light (1978); and "For Shame Of Doing Wrong," "Dargai," and "Dimming Of The Day" from Pour Down Like Silver (1975). Several covers are also featured: Hank Williams' "Honky Tonk Blues," "I'm A Dreamer" by Fairport Convention singer Sandy Denny, and Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It With Mine," a song Richard covered with Fairport Convention on 1969's What We Did On Our Holidays." |

Great news, this'll go nicely alongside my boots of Rafferty's Folly and some live recordings from the SOTL tour. The band for this tour consisting of Nicol, Mattacks and Pete Zorn on bass (the "you're not Dave Pegg" tour as posters had already been printed before asking Peggy if he was available). Will have to buy this to see if the performances are the same as those on the boot.

No, my copy is fairly lo-fi (but ok enough to get the gist). Have got higher quality versions of some of this material on the Linda Thompson Hannibal anthology Dreams Fly Away, and of course on RT's Watching The Dark. Can't remember who had a higher quality version.
I have both of those CDs, but that's only about a quarter of the album. Jules |

I think they missed a trick by not including the Gerry Rafferty version of the album as the second disc - with maybe live tracks added on as extras, or as a separate release.
The album as released is still the one (they were right to drop Modern Woman and Wrong Heartbeat, and right to redo Wall Of Death with Richard singing instead of Linda), but the Rafferty version has nice versions of Backstreet Slide, Just The Motion and Walking On A Wire.

I'm sure there will be many differing opinions about the bonus CD, didn't Frank K (I'm still waiting for those cassettes you promised me in return for the Mary Costello shows!!!) record some of the Richard & Linda Band US tour shows with properly set up mics? Perhaps the bonus CD contains some of those??

Cool, 'cos it's been weeks since I last, y'know, bought an album I'd already bought at least twice before.

That's the one that RT demanded be withdrawn because he disliked that track.

I'd not heard that. Thanks, Andy. Mind you, it's not the most dodgy thing he's ever had released.  |

So I notice this is a Rhino release. Does that mean it'll be like their Handmade series and only available direct from them as an expensive import with a hefty import duty on top? Because I'm not seeing it at Amazon. Anyone seen it offered as a pre-release anywhere?

Sure is Handmade, Jules, but it's worth checking Spin in Newcastle as they often have stock.

Good idea, Steve! I will. Jules P.S. Just checked, there's no sign of it at their site just yet. |
