In the early 1990's, Liverpool had fallen into A&R shadow; I kept recording anyway. Astral Girl is the title track of a 5-song E.P. of my unreleased wilderness years tracks, finally issued on Record Store Day 2003 by Liverpool's 9X9 label. Link to buy in comments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0BH...

There are a gazillion worse ways to spend the afternoon listening to several almost identical versions of My Boyish Days by Care in order to confer over which one to put on the record with the man who sang it.
