From MARTINP@cgsvax.claremont.edu Thu Jul 8 23:30:20 1993 Date: 08 Jul 1993 20:05:26 -0700 (PDT) From: MARTINP@cgsvax.claremont.edu Subject: RH & Egyptians discog To: fegmaniax@gnu.ai.mit.edu There was some discussion recently about a discography for RH & the Egyptians. There is a discography for the soft boys on cs.uwp.edu (mislabeled-its under soft.boy not soft.boys) but I haven't found one for RH or the Egyptians. So just to get the ball rolling... This is incomplete and since much of it is from published sources, not my own records, I can't vouch for its accuracy. If people want to make additions, corrections, or comments, I'll update it and dump it to the fegmaniax archives (or wherever) when we're done. martinp@cgsvax.claremont.edu DISCOGRAPHY ROBYN HITCHCOCK (& THE EYGPTIANS) Singles The Man Who Invented Himself/Dancing On God's Thumb.
