Richard Thompson • Shaky Nancy (1972) UK
Richard Thompson OBE (born 3 April 1949) made his début as a recording artist as a member of Fairport Convention in September 1967. Henry the Human Fly, his first solo album, was originally released in Britain in April 1972 on the Island label and in the US on the Reprise label. The album was Thompson's attempt to create an English rock 'n roll hybrid. It was poorly received at the time and is, reportedly, the worst selling album in Warner Brothers Records history but today is often considered one of his best albums. By this time Thompson had begun a relationship with the singer Linda Peters, who had sung on Henry the Human Fly. In October 1972 the couple were married, and Thompson, with Linda now effectively his front woman, regrouped for his next album and the next phase of his career.
