 Beat The Retreat - Songs By Richard Thompson (12" LP, 1994) Capitol CI 0777 7 95929 1 3 MINT! Unplayed!
MINT SHAPE! Pics are the actual item you're buying (please excuse my dusty scanner).
I've had this sitting on my shelf forever. Even though I've owned the CD of this album from day one, I bought this 12" LP version when a clueless record store owner mis-priced it and I couldn't pass it up. But... I never even played it. In fact, I totally forgot about until recently (you know you have too many albums when you can't remember what you own). My forgetfulness is your gain. A mint-perfect copy of the classic Richard Thompson tribute album, Beat The Retreat. The vinyl is mint, the cover has only minor bumps on the top left & lower left corners (see pics). The recycled cardboard cover has its own minor imperfections, but those are inherent to the recycled paper printing process. You WILL be pleased.

ALL MUSIC GUIDE REVIEW Richard Thompson is surely one of the greatest songwriters and artists never to achieve any measure of commercial fame. However, his high reputation among musicians is unchallenged, and Beat the Retreat is a fine collection of covers of some of Thompson's greatest songs. There are two kinds of successes on this record. The first kind is when artists completely re-envision Thompson's original compositions. Good demonstrations of this are such tracks as Bob Mould's take on "Turning of the Tide," which puts a punk spin on Thompson's paean to a seaside prostitute. In a similar manner, the Dinosaur Jr. version of "I Misunderstood" transfers the angst of the original into a Generation X cry of despair. The second kind of success on Beat the Retreat are straight-up covers that are just excellently and passionately performed. The Maddy Prior/Martin Carthy readings of "Farewell, Farewell" and "The Great Valerio" are simply chilling in their intensity. Likewise, Bonnie Raitt's gritty voice adds an appealing bluesiness to "When the Spell Is Broken." The Shawn Colvin/Loudon Wainwright III cover of "A Heart Needs a Home" has a sweetness and a purity that is truly revelatory. June Tabor's lovely a cappella "Genesis Hall" or Los Lobos' insightful "Down Where the Drunkards Roll" make this record worth its purchase price for all who have been seduced by Thompson's genius.
