Bob says "Rumor has it that you have an open invitation to play with the Grateful Dead." Robyn replied, "Yeah..." but then he started talking about liking the dynamic of playing live with the Egyptians. Maybe now that Jerry is gone, Robyn will take them up on their offer. IN another unrelated topic, I checked out Syd Barrett-BARRETT from the library. It was fun to listen to. I notice that it is copyright 1990. When was this album actually released? It sounds like late 70's. Is the Cd I listened to a REISSUE or something....or did it take that long to get released? Many songs Robyn has covered are available at my local library. I'm thinking of compiling the originals onto a tape. For my own use of course. For example, Bob Dylan-John Wesley Harding has "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", which Robyn has covered. I checked that one out too. Mighty fine! The only one I could not find was Captain Beefheart-Clear Spot. My library only has Trout Mask Replica.....and I didn't see any familiar songs on it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- John B.

Yes, it was released; it was his second solo album, following _The Madcap Laughs_. It was the last album of his to be released at the time. Many years later _Opel_ was compiled from out-takes. The 1990 copyright sounds like it might be the first American CD release; I think the English CD release was earlier, but I'd have to check and my CDs are at home. _Octupus_ is a best of collection. The _Crazy Diamond_ box set is _The Madcap Laughs_, _Barrett_, and _Opel_, all with bonus cuts.

On Mon, 21 Aug 1995, James wrote: > A friend of mine once invented a game called Mornington Crescent...[other stuff snipped] Actually, Mornington Crescent is a "game" which first appeared on the BBC radio show "I'm Sorry I havn't a Clue" back in the 70's--a show billed as "the antidote to panel games". In MC, two teams (well known British comedians) took turns to call out names of Tube stations in accordance with an arcane set of rules which were never actually explained but everyone *appeared* to understand. Challenges like "wait a minute, surely under the Oxford rules you can't do a reverse double-shunt two moves after a cross-straddle" were common. A very Robynesque game to be sure. The game even has it's own newsgroup! check out "alt.games.mornington.crescent". ISIHAC contained other bizarre "games", too, including "Murder in the Dark" (this is radio, remember) and "Tag Wrestling" in which each team was given a different punch line and took turns to add the next section to a story, starting where the other team left off. The first team to get to their punch line won. Thus if the two punchlines were "..so the policeman lifted the lid and revealed a giant vat of custard.", and "..the little dog barked as the astronaut initiated the docking procedure.", for example, you can imagine the tortuous twists and turns of the plot as the story lurched between the two possible endings! -------------------- OK, now I've "de-lurked", l guess I should reveal some RH-relevant stuff about me... I've followed Robyn's career since the mid 70's in Cambridge, when he used to appear as an unannounced "floor singer" at folk clubs. Talk about a breath of fresh air! After you've seen a string of earnest amateurs struggling through "Strawberry Faire" or some such drivel, you can't imagine the impact of Robyn striding to the microphone and fixing his manic stare on a point several hundred yards beyond the back of the room and ..well ...being Robyn (*you* know what that means). I knew immediately that he was destined to be bigger than the Beatles. I'm still waiting- but trust me, it will happen. My own first musical public appearance was playing in a band with the guy who used to fix Kimberley's guitars. The Soft Boys were the only people who showed up to see us!! (Another of my musical accomplices used to share a flat with Morris). I have consciously deleted all musical memories of that event. Needless to say, we were pretty dire! (I tried to play one of Kimberley's guitars once - impossible - strings like washing lines! Dick Dale eat your heart out.) Does anyone else remember Robyn from back then? I live in Northern California now, still play music (but just for fun), and tend my Soft Boys/Hitchcock/Egyptians collection (among much other stuff). How 'bout you?

I've heard of a release third album called "Opel". But I honestly think that, judging by the the duplication on bootlegs, all of his songs that could have been found and released, have been released. However, if anyone has a copy of "Snowing", "Flapdoodle Dealing", "Pink Theme", "Bob Dylan Blues" or "Rainy Night on a Rooftop, Missing the Point", let me know..
