Soft Boys "Can of Bees" album

[J. Peter Alfke <alfke@csvax.caltech.edu>]

Okay, having grooved to "Underwater Moonlight" I today went out and bought
the only other Soft Boys album I could find, "A Can of Bees".  The rather
sparse info on the cover and label gives 1984 as the copyright date (actually
it says (p)1984, I've never been sure of what the p-in-a-circle means).
But I thought the Soft Boys broke up in 1980 or so?  At least, that's when
Robyn Hitchcock started releasing solo albums.  And the music on this sounds
rawer than "Underwater Moonlight".

So can some Soft Boys / Robyn Hitchcock guru enlighten me?  A discography
would be appreciated, too.

(Oh yeah, bought "Talking Heads:77".  Nothing special to report.  The
 guitars sound nice.  I now have the *real* version of Psycho Killer on
 disc.  (Y'know, my friends all like that song but they've only heard the
 "Stop Making Sense" version.  Nowhere near as good.  Doesn't even have
 a bassline.  Hurm.))
