Acoustic Classics II + Rarities revisited songs from across the catalogue through stripped-back arrangements, presented as a two-disc recording project.
A continuation of the Acoustic Classics series, the collection recast established material in an intimate setting and gathered less familiar repertoire alongside it.
The project focused on acoustic interpretations of songs from across Richard Thompson’s catalogue. Its programme included material associated with earlier band arrangements, songs interpreted by other vocalists and selections that had previously appeared mainly as cover versions.
The original campaign documented the making of the album and presented several editions. It has long since ended, so this page now serves as an archive rather than an active store.
The completed campaign offered several recorded-music formats and collector-oriented variations. These summaries describe the archive and are not purchase offers.
The album appeared as a three-record gatefold edition, with signed and limited variants among the original selections.
Standard and signed CD configurations presented the two-part collection in a compact physical format.
The digital edition was delivered as high-resolution mastered audio, with source resolution varying between recordings.
Rather than reproducing expired prices or availability, this record groups the original options by purpose and format.
Digital files, double CD and triple-gatefold vinyl formed the core of the project.
Selected CD, vinyl and test-pressing editions were originally offered with signatures.
Some configurations combined recordings with apparel, printed material and music-related keepsakes.
Campaign followers received production notes and progress reports as the recording developed.
The historical campaign also listed a small number of event and music-learning opportunities.
All campaign offers are now inactive. No current stock, booking or fulfilment is implied.
