Robyn Hitchcock - The Leopard - Non-Album Tracks (1986)

Here's the next in my long series of Robyn Hitchcock stray tracks albums. As usual, I made two albums for one of his official studio albums, which in this case is 1986's "Element of Light." This first companion album contains stray studio tracks he did that same year.

There's not much to say that I haven't said already, if you've been following this series of albums. This is a relatively short album, just 32 minutes long. Most of the songs come from bonus tracks to "Element of Light." In addition, there are two B-sides. Plus there's one unreleased track, a live version of "The Calvary Cross" by Richard and Linda Thompson. One of the B-sides is a cover also, the classic Byrds hit "Eight Miles High."

If you like the general kind of music posted on this blog and you haven't given Hitchcock a try, you're really missing out! Literally everything he does is interesting.

I couldn't come up with any good ideas for an album called "The Leopard" except for a picture of a leopard. So I Googled abstract art on leopards and came up with the picture here. I don't know who made it.
