WyoWoman'A great place to start would be with the wonderful 3CD set on Hannibal (Rykodisc) Richard Thompson 'Watching the Dark: The History of Richard Thompson' Hannibal HNCD5303. It ranges from 1969 to 1992. You won't find 'Beeswing', which came later, but you will find 'Dimming of the Day' and heaps of other great songs. It also has an excellent booklet.
