It was broadcast sometime in 1985, I think between the release of Aikea Guinea and Tiny Dynamine.

Robin always amazes, so young and so smart here. takes someone special to come up with the sounds he does. and Liz.....goddess.

[Violettero]

AH THE 80'S I MISS THEM!!!

[deliusism1]

Is it just me, or does everything that everybody says besides Liz just go in one ear and right out the other?There's no interest here whatsoever but to listen to her talk,and she doesn't do much more than laugh here.Too bad.

LOL, Robin looks like a giant schoolboy

The guys at 23 envelope were pretty catty & bitchy that one guy snapped at Robin. They were young but at least they knew what they wanted on their album covers. I can say for the time, it did look nice.

ever loved the 23's picture style. They're really image-artists.

☞... the 23 envelope thing's seems sorta timeless... you can't really tell where they're from or when they're from...☜

v23's 4AD sleeves are fantastically beautiful. The Cocteaus ones are great too. I remember when they left 4AD though they said they were fed up with the covers. Four Calendar Cafe, which they made soon after, has a terrible cover though in my opinion, not worthy of the great music on the album.

@lovekisslaugh and simon?

[lazord1991]

Her laugh... almost like a little magical musical sugary notes!

[00EYESoo]

They look so freakin nervous!
