{"product_id":"henry-the-human-fly-180-gram-uk","title":"Henry The Human Fly [180 Gram] (Uk)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe debut solo album from the influential British folk-rock pioneer Richard Thompson - Originally released on Island in 1972, the album showcases Thompson's remarkable, singular talent. Feted as their lead writer, Richard Thompson left Fairport Convention, the group he founded in 1967, in early 1971. Recorded at Joe Boyd's legendary Sound Techniques studio in Chelsea in February 1972, Henry The Human Fly was a 37- minute collection of everything that makes Thompson so cherished today - well- written vignettes with an emphasis on shadow, a cast of curious characters, all wrapped in his warm folk-based musical drone. Backed with some of the biggest names in field (Sandy Denny, Barry Dransfield, Ashley Hutchings), Henry The Human Fly showcases Thompson at an early peak. Among it's 12 tracks, Nobody's Wedding borrows heavily from the traditional Irish air, Marie's Wedding; The Angels Took My Race Horse Away features Thompson's distinctive guitar playing, part- Django Reinhardt, part- Lou Reed. There is the delightful harp melody of The Old Changing Way; the eerie Salvation Army band nativity of Mary \u0026amp; Joseph - there is much to savour. This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1972 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180gm vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoll Over Vaughn Williams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNobody's Wedding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Poor Ditching Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaky Nancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Angels Took My Racehorse Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheely Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe New St. George\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted Ladies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold Feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMary and Joseph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Old Changing Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwisted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 805520240307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proper Records Uk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Richard Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291935838289,"sku":"286643","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4181135-2944545.jpg?v=1760736790","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/henry-the-human-fly-180-gram-uk","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
