Background on this eBay item -
He’s already achieved more as a songwriter and an instrumentalist than most musicians could in a lifetime. And yet, with the release The Old Kit Bag, Richard Thompson continues to set new standards as a guitarist and storyteller. The album is his twenty fifth since leaving the legendary Fairport Convention and ranks with Rumor And Sigh as one of his best. Still the master of examining life’s ironies through song, Thompson chose producer John Chelew (John Hiatt, Five Blind Boys Of Alabama) and a musical trio for The Old Kit Bag. The sparse line up gives additional weight to the insightful lyrics and allows the exceptional guitar work to take center stage."This first new record in almost four years turns inward, away from the critiques of parochial Englishness found on predecessor Mock Tudor. Thompson remains a true English original: no one else could have written these dense, flinty songs, and he never lets the technique overpower the text. The arrangements are simple and clean, and the band perform with perfect neatness behind that sinewy voice and articulate guitar-playing.
He is as sharp a chronicler of the vicissitudes of love, and other dilemmas, as he ever was." - David Peschek, The Guardian
"His best album in nearly a decade…stunning guitar work" – The Sunday Times

- Near Mint Minus = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible.
- Excellent = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise.
- Very Good Plus = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.

The LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).
