Richard Thompson was touring after releasing the Across a Crowded Room album n 1985. tessellation uploaded this solo acoustic show in Sept. 2007 and described its source as pre-FM. I have also a copy from a 1987 CBC rebroadcast and this pre-FM source seems nicer. No SBEs and I generated a .ffp file. It is a very nice sounding though disappointingly short show. I compared the contents with Thompson's The Life and Music of Richard Thompson set but found nothing commercially released.
