Richard Thompson’s first solo album after leaving Fairport Convention is a stunning tour de force – an absolute classic of English music. Recently voted by MOJO magazine as one of the top guitar albums of all time, Henry the Human Fly has been out of print for several years. For this sensitively remastered, slipcased edition Fledg’ling have restored all the elements of the original artwork, included song lyrics and added several prevously unpublished photographs.

One of MOJO’s 20 greatest guitar albums ever!
