Yeah, I always found that unusual too, given that he didn't leave the band until after the LP was completed... it's hard to say what happened there. Either he was going through a dry spell as a songwriter, or he had songs and the band didn't record them for whatever reason - either they didn't fit, or he'd already thought about doing solo stuff. It's hard to say, because not much has really been said about Lawrence's departure.

see, SDT is overall a 'weirder' album than Gorky 5 so the idea that he was the experimental guy sdoesnt really float

and his stuff on Gorky 5 is about the most straightforward he ever did

I listened to Sleep/Holiday recently because of this thread - haven't listened to it for years, but was surprised to find I only dislike 3 songs on it.

Another year, another substandard Euros Childs album. Anyone listen to 'House Arrest' yet?

Those Gorkys albums still remain painfully unaffordable and practically non-existent in LP form. Who can fix this? Also Richard James put out a moody instrumental (synth?) album which I scanned through on bandcamp.

It's near criminal that you can't hear Bwyd Time anywhere other than YouTube. I'd love a reissue

I wonder if there'd be lots of interesting unreleased stuff that could be used for expanded versions. Euros has certainly be very prolific as a solo artist.

i’ve loved a lot of those Euros albums - his recent all covers album was especially good. It’s just prohibitively expensive to order the LPs in the states.
