Robyn Hitchcock - Poisonous Angel - Non-Album Tracks (1987)

In 1987, Hitchcock didn't release an album. However, he was so prolific in the 1980s that there's material for two albums from him that year. This is the first one. It's generally a full band effort, though the last few songs are solo acoustic. One song here, "Agony of Pleasure," would also appear on his 1990 album "Eye." But this is the full band version and the "Eye" version is done solo acoustic.

Most of the songs here are from the 2008 archival collection "Bad Case of History." They generally were never played live, never bootlegged, and often had never even been heard of until that collection came out. Who knows how many more songs Hitchcock has that he's never released for one reason or another?

Two other songs were also officially released. That leaves just "Donna Summer" and "The Angel Upstairs" as unreleased ones. Both come from concert bootlegs.

I made the cover art out of the cover art for the 1987 single "Balloon Man." All I did was change the text.
