Having now purchased over one hundred Robyn Hitchcock, Soft Boys & Kimberley Rew titles for my personal consumption over the years, including many albums in 3 & sometimes 4 different release forms & format, along with singles, EPs, promotional items, box sets etc, not to mention all the concert tickets... I don't think I am an idle fan. Having said that, I think I have a right to say brickwalling sucks & "download only bonus tracks" are not my idea of a good Christmas present. That being off my chest, here's a sadly neglected piece of Robyn history that I had fully expected we might have seen on one of the rarity comps along with some other Meatpackers trax, but reckon it didn't make the cut (so to speak). So here tis. Damn fine too. No bloody mess, just a tune that coulda been a righteous side o' wax. Information not included on my tape label assembled from the Nigel Cross "A Boring Midday Chat With Robyn Hitchcock" interview in "Forced Exposure" (FE#13 1988) (line-up & history), engineer Mike Kemp's comments on the Spaceward Studios site ("This came very close to being released - it reached test-pressing stage before Robyn changed his mind."), Aidan Merrit's "Positive Vibrations" a Hitchcock fanzine fanzine ("Robyn's paean to menstruation, possibly the oldest of his songs." Originally performed with the Beetles & a staple of Maureen & The Meatpackers, & Robyn Hitchcock's Worst Fears"_paraphrased_ & "Bucketfull Of Brains (Issue 14, 1986) "Robyn Hitchcock - As Hot As Sprouts" by Jon Storey (more line-up & history). More recordings on the way. Until recently I had very slow internet access & am fixing my ratio as fast as I can, now that I am able. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Kudos to Zongo for life support & Lochner for mikes & much more. A bow to Fast Freddie for running Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive.
