Title: editing would have helped
Review: I like Richard Thompson but this collection was for the most part painful to listen to. With the exception of a handful of songs I found this intolerable. I had given this boxed set years ago as a gift to fellow Richard Thompson enthusiasts and was longing for it myself. I finally indulged in purchasing it and was sorely disappointed after listening to it. I contacted the couple I previously gave it to, to apologize and they concurred it was a clunker. Not every piece of work performed by an artist is worthy of marketing. This strikes me as an attempt to cash in on any available recording by RT good or bad purely for financial gain. I would not buy this again nor will I be gifting it again. In fairness it is titled as the Life and Music of Richard Thompson not the best of RT.
