XRT Radio in Chicago has put out a charity cd for the holidays entitled: ONXRT: Live From the Archives, Volume I It features a collection of songs by different artists including: Railway Shoes (Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians) This recording is from a live interview with the band in the XRT studios on June 18, 1992, during their summer acoustic PI tour. 100 percent of the profits from the disc go to "Christmas For Kids" charities in the Chicago area. According to my snail mail friend Dan, it was released on November 16th, and is a limited edition. It's probably only available in the Chicago area, though apparently not from XRT Radio (as Andy R has discovered). But here's the number for Tower Records in downtown Chicago; perhaps they'd be able to mail out copies of the disc: Tower Records, Chicago 312-477-5994 // 1-800-648-4844 I have three incomplete recordings of the radio interview, including a dub from XRT where they forgot to turn on the recorder at the start and missed Driving Aloud. Does anyone on the list have a complete copy of the interview? Thanks, Susan p.s. Collectors beware: written on the disc cover: Suggested Retail $11.95.

Well, that's what the refrain is. Is this a cover? It doesn't sound like a cover. Anybody know this song? They also did "The Live-In Years" -- anybody see/hear them them perform this, or "Bright, Fresh Flower" at any other shows?
