Reviews

Friday, May 26, 1978 (The Punk Diary, p. 129)
Soft Boys have their second 45 "(I Want To Be An) Anglepoise Lamp" released by Radar Records. It's backed with "Fat Man's Son," both Robyn Hitchcock compositions. The Cambridge-based group is lead singer Robyn Hitchcock, along with Andy Metcalf (sic), Morris Windsor, Jim Melton, and Kimberly (sic) Rew. Hitchcock has been in bands for many years.

(The Soft Boys played in London at The Nashville with Solid Waste that night.)
