Just got his live 10"record from '79 or '80.

Fuckin excellence.

Any fans here?

I'm looking for more of his releases if anyone has some they'd be interested in selling, just pm me thanks.

I know it's obvious but I love this version of Chickentown

Was due to play a club near to me but he cancelled. I was gutted. The man is a bona fide genius.

i saw him in stockport a couple of years ago. he spent more time telling jokes than he did reading his poetry - brilliant character. think i was the youngest (17) in the audience though, he's sort of been lost on my generation which is a shame because alex turner (arctic monkeys) cites him as one of his biggest lyrical influences

Walking Back to Happiness, it's called. Pretty good, very funny. Sort of like early spoken-word...I guess.

Probably slim chance in hell of finding anything else.

What kind of creature bore you
Was it some kind of bat
They can't think of a word for you
I can
