Gathered and presented here for the first time, Emil Thompson brings us two EP collections of recently discovered recordings by his grandfather, the fabled Old Man Thompson. Believed to have been made by OMT during his years residing in the Arbour at Gable's End, most of these tunes allude to this period of his life.

Inlay text contains the full story of how these recordings and other artefacts were unearthed, together with background notes to each track.
