Jewels for Sophia is the twelfth studio album by Robyn Hitchcock, released on Warner Records on 20 July 1999.[1]

Since Respect (1993), the hitherto prolific Hitchcock had released just one 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 a 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 for the album in several sessions with different backing musicians. In Los Angeles, California he collaborated 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.
