I've got a couple, but I'm intrigued as to what the compiler thought would make a representative outing, or the best performances or what-have-you. Plus, he booklet loks cool. I'll just grumble and drop hints and see if it materializes for my birthday at the end of the month.

who knew 'Shoot Out The Lights' was originally recorded and produced Gerry Rafferty?

it's very slick, and in parts it's stiffer compared to the later official re-recording, but all the guitar solos are completely different and Linda sings the lead on 'Don't Renege' & an early version of 'Wrong Heartbeat', so if you're a fan...
got to check out that Baltimore 82 bootleg tyler linked

yeah the rafferty version is worth seeking out. kind of amazing it hasn't been officially released, considering all of the archival Thompson stuff that has been put out over the years (i guess a handful of the rafferty songs have popped up on comps). richard must really not like it. the woodworm demos that i think precede the rafferty sessions are pretty gorgeous too. I was just listening to those -- amazing version of "just the motion".

The intro to "Man in Need" always reminds me of the guitar sound on Talking Heads' debut.

The funny thing is, I've read him saying some scathing things about the released SOTT, mainly about the drum mix/sound. But iirc, his comments were a deflection in response to a question about how/if the songs reflected his and Linda's crumbling marriage.

The Rhino Handmade edition is totally worth it, nice book packaging with an essay and photos plus the terrific live disc, particularly the title track.

Wasn't expecting this since Linda can no longer sing, but she's actually releasing a new album with a series of guest vocalists:

Hmmm, the last track is called "Those Damn Roches."
Now I'm imagining Linda in her prime singing "Hammond Song."
