The Story
A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.
Any album boasting a song as gorgeous and heartfelt as âBeeswingâ is going to be a keeper. But Richard Thompsonâs 1994 release Mirror Blue has a lot more going for it than just that classic. âKing of Bohemiaâ will tease tears from your eyes, and those looking for rave-ups will be transported by Thompsonâs solos on âThe Way That It Showsâ and âMascara Tears.â Itâs one of his best, if most underappreciated records; but Mirror Blue never saw a release on vinyl in the U.S.; and, even though it clocks in at 55 minutes, it was released as a single album in the UK. So, our release rights two wrongs; this album has never sounded or looked as good as it does on this 2-LP set housed inside a gorgeous gatefold jacket.
