Richard & Linda Thompson ORIG CAN LP Shoot out the lights EX ’82 HNBL1303 Folk

Original Canadian LP released in 1982 on hannibal Records. Cat: HNBL1303. Comes with printed inner bag which is in Excellent condition.

Richard & Linda Thompson's marriage was crumbling as they were recording Shoot Out the Lights in 1982, and many critics have read the album as a chronicle of the couple's divorce. In truth, most of the album's songs had been written two years earlier (when the Thompsons were getting along fine) for an abandoned project produced by Gerry Rafferty, and tales of busted relationships and domestic discord were always prominent in their songbook. But there is a palpable tension to Shoot Out The Lights which gives songs like "Don't Renege On Our Love" and "Did She Jump Or Was She Pushed" an edgy bite different from the Thompsons' other albums together; there's a subtle, unmistakable undertow of anger and dread in this music that cuts straight down to the bone. Joe Boyd's clean, uncluttered production was the ideal match for these songs and their Spartan arrangements, and Richard Thompson's wiry guitar work was remarkable, displaying a blazing technical skill that never interfered with his melodic sensibilities. Individually, all eight of the album's songs are striking.

Tracks : Don’t renege on our love/ Walking on a wire/ Man in need/ Just the motion/ Shoot out the lights/ Back street slide/ Did she jump or was she pushed/ Wall of death.
