Robyn Hitchcock "Groovy Decoy" 1985
Four years after its release, Robyn Hitchcock pulled Groovy Decay from circulation, replacing it with Groovy Decoy, an alternate version of the record assembled mainly from demos he recorded with Soft Boys bassist Matthew Seligman. . .. . .the album included some versions that are identical to the Decay material, as well as a handful of new songs. By and large, Groovy Decoy is a better record, with more immediate and gripping versions of the songs that comprised the original album, but the material remains some of the weakest Hitchcock has written.
