Right about the time I got into Richard & Linda Thompson, they broke up. So I went the solo
route. Polydor had just dumped Richard for lack of success, but it didnt take him long to find
a new label (Capitol). His sales would not fare much better there, but at least it's a new
start with fresh promotion. This is an ok album, with one love track and one terrible track.
Richard's album sales would pick up in the future. The guy is still out there and has a loyal
fan base. This one charted at #89 in the UK and #192 in the US. Turning Of The Tide was
released as a single but did not chart here. It may have elsewhere.
