Richard Thompson, Live at the BBC

 

3CD+DVD Universal Music Operations Ltd.  2011 - 533 290-9

 

Splendido cofanetto comprendente tre CDs e un DVD disegnato da Phil Smee e quelli della Waldo Design. La produttrice Sue Armstrong ha fatto le cose in grande per conto della Universal, affidando a Simon Murphy il compito del mastering e a Mick Houghton quelle delle note di copertina. Tra registrazioni BBC e live, il prodotto scorre bene e si ascolta volentieri. L'emozione di ascoltare la chitarra di Richard dal vivo è sempre grande.
