Robyn Hitchcock - Element of Light - Acoustic Versions (1986)

Still more Robyn Hitchcock! I'm generally trying to simultaneously post two companion albums for each of his official albums, so here's the second stray tracks album that goes with 1986's "Element of Light."

This one contains all of the acoustic versions of the songs from that album I could find. I was able to find eight out of ten songs, which is a pretty good ratio compared to some of his other albums. In addition, I was able to find three acoustic versions of the songs from the stray tracks studio album I just posted, "The Leopard."

All of these songs are written by Hitchcock. Five of the eleven songs are officially released demos, put out as bonus tracks. The rest are from concert bootlegs, with the audience noise removed.

01 If You Were a Priest [Demo] (Robyn Hitchcock)
02 Winchester [Acoustic with Drums Version] (Robyn Hitchcock)
03 Somewhere Apart (Robyn Hitchcock)
04 Ted, Woody and Junior (Robyn Hitchcock)
05 The President [Demo] (Robyn Hitchcock)
06 Raymond Chandler Evening [Demo] (Robyn Hitchcock)
07 Bass (Robyn Hitchcock)
08 Airscape (Robyn Hitchcock)
09 Never Stop Bleeding (Robyn Hitchcock)
10 Lady Waters and the Hooded One [Demo] (Robyn Hitchcock)
11 The Leopard [Demo] (Robyn Hitchcock)

The cover uses a painting made by Hitchcock and put on his website. I don't know the name of the painting or when it was done.
