Robyn Hitchcock - Perspex Island - Acoustic Versions (1991)

If you've been following my Robyn Hitchcock posts at all, you should know the deal by now: I post various types of albums by him and some of them are all acoustic versions of songs from one of his albums. This is one of those, and the album in question is "Perspex Island."

This is a good album to have an all acoustic version of, because the early 1990s were a time when the production on Hitchcock's albums were a little off. A lot of people, including myself, felt the production was overdone. So it's nice to strip things way back and hear the songs in their simplest forms.

I was able to find acoustic versions for eight out of the 11 songs on "Perspex Island." There are three more songs here, because I was also able to find acoustic versions for three of the stray tracks from this time period, which I put together for my last Hitchcock album posting, "Kiss Yourself." The result is a 40-minute long album of more quality Hitchcock weirdness.

The cover art uses the art of the 1991 single "Dark Green Energy." Even though it was a B-side, apparently it had its own cover.  Some text was removed and other text was added.
