  • Strict Tempo! is the second studio album by Richard Thompson, released in 1981. Apart from soundtracks, it is Thompson's only entirely instrumental studio album. The album consists of some of the artist's favourite tunes, all rendered as instrumentals and all arranged for guitar, mandolin, and other instruments played by Thompson. The only other musician is drummer Dave Mattacks. After the modest sales for their 1979 album Sunnyvista, Richard and Linda Thompson found themselves without a record deal. Their earlier album Shoot Out the Lights, which was produced and financed by Gerry Rafferty, failed to secure them a deal with a major label. To generate some income, Thompson formed his own record label Elixir Records and recorded this album mostly at the small BTW studio in London, and also at the Woodworm Studios at Cropredy. The album was re-released on CD by Topic Records in 1992, and again on CD by Omnivore Recordings in 2011. (en)
