Comment
Richard Thompson
with Niles Hokkanen & Eric Hokkanen
Four of these tracks have long circulated as the "Sugar Hill demos", with a date of August 1982, other musicians unknown. One user has a tape labelled "Richard Thompson radio show 3-82" and says "I trust the date on the tape, which I feel is corroborated by RT's comments in track 08. "Radio show"? I don't know. What I was told was that it was recorded for/by/at a radio station in Florida*. Whether it was ever broadcast is unknown, but if so, this seems to be pre-FM, there is no radio station announcer or ID, just the three musicians. I don't think I'd be going out on a limb to say that you're going to love this, if only for the lovely version of "Learning the Game".
* [additional information has surfaced:
i heard from someone in the Tampa
Bay area ... the station is actually
WMNF-FM, in Tampa, and this *was*
broadcast, because my informant
heard it when it aired, but was in his
car, and unable to tape ... according
to him: WMNF is a listener sponsored
radio station that carries some NPR
and Radio Pacifica programs,but is
mostly local area programing.
