To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this one. But, I was pleasantly surprised. If you don't think that your busy lifestyle or budget will allow you to get over to the UK any time soon, you may find this to be the next best thing.

These guys opened for DG during his 1984 tour. I have always really enjoyed their studio albums. This is the first live recording that I have ever heard. Thanks, John, for sending it along!

RH - 1978-11-21 - Leicester University


I recently acquired a large cassette tape collection. There are many first gens and masters among them. Loads of Robyn Hitchcock, but substantial amounts of other artists as well. This particular tape includes two shows. One of the shows has been partially released on CD, so I have included those tracks here as well. Enjoy!

Time For Some Stumpin


Once again, I feel compelled to have to explain that there's just no way that I can share things by certain bands. They're just weird about it. Even if a big pile of new grooviness were to fall from the sky, there's just nothing that I could do about it. The big Robyn Hitchcock marathon will start soon enough. But, before that, there's Floyd on the way... And, if that doesn't float your boat, just leave a comment.
