All the contributors will get freebies, but anyone else who wants one will be able to get one, cheap/trade/whatever. FYI, it's not Robyn covers, just originals by listmembers... although many betray his influence, a few make direct references, and another small handful seem to be inspired by the list itself or its members. So, to the list: should I post the track list to help folks decide whether or not to order, or would that spoil the surprise? It's not done or anything, but it's getting there. Plus... how many non-participants are likely to want copies? And, ummm, President Banana? Really? - -Rex NP.

It may or may not be football-shaped, but that's neither here nor there (actually, it's both here AND there, but I digress). I belong to an apa - an amateur press association (basically, an old-fashioned paper and post version of an online discussion group, with issues every second month). In the November issue, a fellow apan, Tim Jones (not the one who has been mentioned on this list in the past, but an old friend of mine from Wellington) sent in a fanzine that had been sent to him from England. Tim writes fanzines himself, and trades with people in far-flung corners of the planet like Bishopston in Bristol. Anyway, to cut a long preamble short, one of the articles in the fanzine from bristol was a diary of a fan get-together in said city earlier this year. it containe the following paragraphs: 'That evening we set out to see the Soft Boys playing at the Fleece, Bristol's last remaining decent music venue. I like Robyn Hitchcock & the Soft Boys, but for some reason I have them classified in my head as a folk band, which is a bit bizarre considering that they take to the stage with three guitarists and a drummer. But one of the guitarists does look - and play - like a folk musician. And their fans are dedicated and knowledgeable like Nick (who eagerly snapped up the CDs on sale at the gig), and Linda (who is practically a groupie, since not only had she come all the way to Bristol from Eastbourne to see them, but planned to see them in Oxford and Brighton too.) 'Robyn Hitchcock was in playful mood. He began his set by asking us to pick one letter out of three. We did so, and they played a song beginning with that letter, but not the one that anyone was expecting. Then they played something by Syd Barrett. Then Robyn told us some strange stories, and they played more songs. Robyn explained that each time the Soft Boys reform it portended doom for the planet. Last time it was the nightmare combination of Reagan and Thatcher. This time it was Blair and Bush - and he launched into a diatribe against Bush, culminating in: "George Walker Bush, you are a fucking wanker!" '"I've never heard Robyn Hitchcock swear on stage before!" said Nick, impressed. "Things must be serious." "They are," I said. "But we didn't need Robyn to tell us that."' So... Godders and the Gloucestershire area crew... do any of you know Nick Walters, Linda Krawecke, Doug Bell, or Christina Lake? James PS - my new scanner's OCR software works!
