''Jewels For Sophia'' is the thirteenth studio album by Robyn Hitchcock, released on Warner Records in 1999. Since ''Respect'' (1993), the hitherto prolific Hitchcock had released just one full studio album (''Moss Elixir'' in 1996), the rest of his recent output consisting largely of repackages and live recordings. ''Jewels For Sophia'' however contained a dozen tracks, only one of which ("No, I Don't Remember Guildford") had been recorded previously, and two extras not listed on the cover, and hidden away after a substantial pause following the album's "last" track. Tracks include a paean to cheese in all its forms, with a sub-text of the global power struggle, and the quasi-nonsensical title number, whose lyric is rather pointed, in similar vein to John Lennon's "I Am the Walrus". The two hidden extras are "Mr. Tongs" and "Don't Talk to Me About Gene Hackman". ==Personnel== Hitchcock recorded sessions for the album in Los Angeles, California with guitarist Grant Lee Phillips and multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion; and in Seattle, Washington with guitarist Peter Buck and members of The Young Fresh Fellows. Kimberley Rew, Hitchcock's erstwhile collaborator in The Soft Boys, also appears on two songs, the first time in nearly 20 years the pair had recorded together. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jewels for Sophia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
