6. Great !

It's been a while, so how does their first compare, "Can of Bees" ??

Also, any good R. Hitchcock solo recommends, (other than 'Black Snake, Diamond Rule", which I remember well).

TIA

11. "Feel like asking a tree for an autograph..."

The Soft Boys and Robyn are among my favorites... The Soft Boys' version of "That's when your heartaches begin" is amazing.

I'd suggest "Element of Light" as a good intro to his "major label" days... and the Soft Boys Anthology if you can find it.

12. Always just a bit too "British twee" for me...

but I met Hitchcock last year. He is a very nice man.
