Tuesday, April 24, 1979 (The Punk Diary, p. 185)
The Soft Boys celebrate the release of 2,500 copies of their debut album "A Can Of Bees." it's a collection of eight studio tracks and three live recordings. Robyn Hitchcock has written a group of unlikely titles, such as "Leppo and The Jooves," "Sandra's Having Her Brain Out," "The Rat's Prayer," "Do The Chisel," "and "The Pigworker." The live tracks include a cover of Lennon's "Cold Turkey." The album is a re-recorded version of the album rejected by Radar a few months ago. Before settling on a "Can Of Bees" The LP was briefly called "Heat Me Up, And Tell Me You're Happy." A major tour follows today's release.

(They played the Moonlight Club in London with La Starza that night.)
