Richard Thompson, (guitar, vocal)
A Collection of Unreleased and Rare Material 1967-1976

Island ICD 8 (2LP, UK, May 1976) - Hannibal HNBL 4801 (2LP reissue, US, June 1986) - Hannibal HNCD 4431 (CD, US, June 1986)

Un doppio LP, una formidabile antologia di materiale per lo più inedito, davvero un disco da possedere. Sono splendide per energia alcune composizioni quali "Night comes in" ma anche alcuni brani acustici sono degni di nota ("The pitfall the excursion"). La grafica di copertina, concepita da Richard Williams, è curiosa (soprattutto il titolo dell'album tra parentesi). Le fotografie di Robert Ellis sono state fatte in occasione del Cambridge Folk Festival del 1975.
