| Those of you whose breath has been bated ever since you first read the news here (in July last year) about the release of live recordings of the Richard & Linda Thompson Band from 1975 - well, keep it bated for a bit longer! David Suff, of Fledg'ling Records, has supervised the mixing of tracks from three different gigs from the autumn of that year, where Richard & Linda's Band was Dave Pegg on bass, Dave Mattacks on drums, and JK on button accordion and concertina. This was the first year I'd played with them live, so I dare say you can hear me trying to work out just what a twelve-bar sequence was in the unrehearsed rock'n'roll workouts. A bit different from the morris dance licks I was used to!
Richard has given the project his blessing, although he has not got involved in any of the decisions, but Linda has listened in to give her support to Mr Suff's work. The album is set for release this summer, not on Fledg'ling as was originally planned, but on Universal Records, who own the recordings. It was from these sessions that a couple of tracks appeared on the 1976 double album "Guitar, Vocal". More news as we get it................ |
