Must dig my copy out. I remember it has quality sound but will need to re-acquaint myself with the tunes.

It's a good record Jim. When you posted the Pretenders the other day, I did the same thing--pulled out my copy and cleaned it so I can play it.

Robyn Hitchcock, Globe of Frogs.

Balloon Man is a household favorite!

Robyn Hitchcock is a genius. I have most of his solo albums and hope to complete his entire discography by the end of the year. I even have stuff from his The Soft Boys days (Underwater Moonlight). Some albums are weaker than others, but all are worth owning. Globe of Frogs is awesome, but my favorite is Perspex Island. Balloon Man is one of my favorites too

thanks Slush. I will have to check him out. sounds like Globe of Frogs is a good place to start.

Globe of Frogs was the first Robyn Hitchcock album I bought (because I heard Balloon Man on a college radio station one day and loved it), and is the perfect album to start with. If you don't like it, he's probably not worth spending more money on because it fully represents his signature sound.

Hope you like it!

Willie Nile- self titled (Arista). Cleaned this one up, too, Laura.

Nonsensical lyrics but who cares, the music is great.

Personally I like Fegmania! best. For me it's one of those "if you don't like it, then you won't like him" kinda records.

And yes, he is a genius!

If Only I Could Remember My Name- David Crosby (Atlantic). I think I got this from Classic Records and if you did, too, you know how wonderful this album is. Not just the warm and rich sound, the music. Wonderful choruses and lyrics that never get old to me.

Old Time Feeling- Sheila Jordan/Harvie Swartz Duo, but there is nothing old time about it (PAJ). She may be one of the greatest jazz singers nobody has heard and her accompianist falls into that same category, too. I would love to be wrong about the part that nobody has heard.

Give it up for the Soft Boys!!!!!!!

Yep Roc has done a pretty great Robyn Hitchcock reissue campaign over the last few years. He is definitely a genius in my book. He has SO many great records, and even the weaker albums have amazing tracks.

Personal favorites include....EYE, Element of Light, I Often Dream of Trains, Underwater Moonlight (The Soft Boys),........actually I could go on....I won't.

Good to see him discussed here.

I got the YepRoc box set a couple of years ago with Fegmania! For half price...

Even the Soft Boys reunion album about 5 years ago is excellent.
