Some of The Boat's earliest posts, from March 2007, were these collections of
Richard Thompson's "Gathered Tracks," officially released recordings (and some that weren't) compiled from countless live discs, various artists tributes, festival shows, webcasts, official downloads and other nooks & crannies hiding RT material. We ended up with 6 volumes in all (far from complete), with some help from our readers (including Wolfgang, who supplied all the covers, too). Since those early '07 posts, we've learned a few things, like how to properly tag and number mp3s, so we figured it was time for an update. Following is all the same great material, cleaned up, re-upped and all combined in one ripping new post. Just in time for RT's 60th birthday.
