"Semi-Detached Mock Tudor" is a live album by Richard Thompson

Beginning with the "Live At Crawley" album in 1995, Richard Thompson had begun issuing high-quality, officially sanctioned live recordings as an alternative to bootleg recordings -- products that would provide the artist with revenue and offer better quality to the fans.

As its name suggests, "Semi-Detached Mock Tudor" was recorded during the tour to promote Thompson's 1999 album "Mock Tudor". It was released in 2002 when Thompson, now a free agent, was free to market himself as he pleased. It was the first release on his own Beeswing label, and Thompson has since released several more live albums on his boutique label and marketed them at concerts and via his [http://www.richardthompson-music.com/ web site] which was launched simultaneously with "Semi-Detached Mock Tudor". Many fans consider the performances on Semi Detached Mock Tudor to be preferable to the "official album".

Thompson toured heavily to support and promote what he considered to be a strong album and eight of "Semi-Detached Mock Tudor"’s 13 tracks are from the then-current "Mock Tudor" - including "Mock Tudor"’s opening five song sequence with which Thompson and his band opened every concert of the 1999 tour.
