Robyn Hitchcock - Tromso, Kaptein & Love from London - Acoustic Versions (2013)

I've posted a lot of Robyn Hitchcock albums at this blog, maybe more than any other artist. I've posted several types of albums. One of those consists of acoustic versions of his studio albums. His albums "Tromso, Kaptein" from 2011 and "Love from London" from 2013 are some of his lesser known albums, since they come from a time when he was keeping a lower profile. As a result, I couldn't find enough songs to make an acoustic album for each one. Thus, this album has songs from both. 

The first five songs come from "Tromso, Kaptein." The remaining songs are from "Love from London." Actually, I did pretty well and found most of the songs from "Love from London" (with nine of ten included here). The problem is "Tromso, Kaptein," where I only found five of ten. 

In terms of sound quality, every single performance is officially unreleased. It helps that nine of the 14 songs come from radio shows, which are generally recorded very well.

01 Dismal City (Robyn Hitchcock)
02 Light Blue Afternoon (Robyn Hitchcock)
03 Old Man Weather (Robyn Hitchcock)
04 Savannah (Robyn Hitchcock with I Was a King)
05 The Abyss (Robyn Hitchcock)
06 Harry's Song (Robyn Hitchcock)
07 Be Still (Robyn Hitchcock)
08 Stupefied (Robyn Hitchcock)
09 I Love You (Robyn Hitchcock)
10 Strawberries Dress (Robyn Hitchcock)
11 Death and Love (Robyn Hitchcock)
12 Fix You (Robyn Hitchcock)
13 My Rain (Robyn Hitchcock)
14 End of Time (Robyn Hitchcock) 

This album is 53 minutes long.

Since this album is split between acoustic versions of songs from two albums, I used a split of the two official covers for the cover art.
