Richard Thompson, Daring Adventures

1986 (Polydor 829 728-2)

Un album ricco di interesse con alcun brani apprezzabili ("A Bone Through Her Nose" e "Valerie") e alcuni arrangiamenti discutibili. La presenza di Mitchell Froom alle tastiere appare un po' invadente in alcune circostanze. Le fotografie sono opera di Fin Costello mentre i caratteri grafici (calligrafie) di copertina sono opera di Steve Joule.
