The debut solo album from the influential British folk-rock pioneer Richard Thompson. 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. This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1972 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.
