“RT” On “FR” (2006)
Box Set Bonus Disc, Limited To 5,000
A bonus for buyers of the 5CD box, RT – The Life & Music Of Richard Thompson, this additional CD was available only to those that posted a write-in card that accompanied the set. It’s comprised mostly of live festival tracks featuring RT with Fairport Convention and The Albion Band, mixed with a handful of studio recordings and a couple of Thompson’s guest appearances on albums of other artists. The box has been radically discounted from its original release price (check Amazon), but this limited edition bonus disc is now long gone. Click the back cover for details on each track.

We used to be Never Get Out Of The Boat… or some variation of that. Glad you found us.
I bought the box set back in the day, mailed in my card, and got a tattered envelope missing the disk. I wrote them back but got no reply. Thanks for finally getting it for me.
Funny, thanks.
Is there any way to get this wonderful bonus disc in FLAC? Thanks.
Sorry… don’t do flac.
