Acoustic Classics, a collection of newly recorded timeless Richard Thompson songs, features 14 tracks culled from his 40 plus year music career. For the first time ever, acoustic versions of songs like "I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight" and "Dimming of the Day" mingle with cornerstone classics like "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" and "Beeswing" as well as other acoustically rendered gems. "I really wanted to have something that would reflect the acoustic shows," Richard explains, "But we didn't have anything like that. Just some old, slightly scratchy recordings of solo sets that I wasn't really happy with." His last proper solo acoustic release was the live Small Town Romance, and that was more than 30 years ago! In the meantime, the acoustic shows have evolved as a full parallel to his band tours. Thompson was named by Rolling Stone Magazine's as one of the Top 20 Guitarists of all time and considered one of the UK's most outstanding songwriters and musicians.

Richard Hawley is widely recognised as both one of the UK’s greatest songwriters and one of its most respected. Alongside two Mercury Music Prize Nominations, a BRIT award nomination and 4 UK Top 10 Albums, the Sheffield native songwriter has collaborated with the likes of Pulp, Arctic Monkeys, Lisa Marie Presley, Paul Weller and Elbow.

Curated by Hawley and long-term collaborator Colin Elliot, Now Then spans his twenty plus year career, exhibiting all facets of his song writing mastery; marrying his most cinematic moments with his most tender, his best loved work and a host of hidden gems from his early work, to create a collection for both his hardcore fanbase and the perfect entry point for his newest fans.

Izzy Maurer is a jazz saxophonist whose life is permanently changed when he is hit by a stray bullet during a performance in a New York nightclub. After his recovery, lzzy stumbles across the body of a stranger in the streets of lower Manhattan—and winds up with the murdered man's briefcase. In it he finds a napkin with a telephone number on it and a box that contains a mysterious stone. The number leads him to Celia Burns, a young actress, and under the magical influence of the stone, the two of them fall deeply in love. When Celia is cast as Lulu in a remake of Pandora's Box, she and Izzy separate for what they think will be just a few days. But people are looking for the stone, and when lzzy is abducted and interrogated by the enigmatic Dr. Van Horn, the story takes a dark and surprising turn—into the Pandora's box of Izzy's soul…

Si les pyramides de Gizeh représentent la gloire de l'Ancien Empire d'Égypte, rien n'est plus représentatif de ses mystères que le grand Sphinx, ce lion colossal à tête d'homme qui garde la nécropole la plus célèbre au monde depuis plus de quatre mille cinq cents ans. Ainsi, alors que les anciens Égyptiens consignaient méticuleusement leur histoire et leurs croyances dans leurs textes sacrés, il n'est nulle part fait mention de l'immense statue érigée sur le site le plus fameux de l'empire. Qui a construit cette merveille de l'ancien monde, comment, et pourquoi ? Quel est ce visage énigmatique dont le regard semble traverser les millénaires ? Est-ce celui d'un mortel ou d'un dieu ? Et que fait la tête d'un homme sur le corps d'un lion ?

Qu'est-ce qui se cache derrière les murs du château de Pubol, où Dali passa ses vieux jours ? Y trouve-t-on cette collection de toiles de maîtres dont parle la légende ? Une énigme de plus dans la vie du roi de la "paranoïa critique"…
