Doesn't he usually deny that SOTL documented his divorce? I've read things like "the songs were all written while we were still happily married" ...
This time he doesn't deny it. Sick of repeating himself? Or perhaps seeing that there is something to the idea?

So his favourite album of his own is Mock Tudor? Mine too.
Great minds etc.

Mock Tudor is certainly a very good album, had no idea it was one of his favourites though

I think Richard was so concentrating on the other aspect of the question (being associated with older material) that he kind of missed that.  Just my 2p.

I'd agree with you there Jules.As for the other bit, missed it or ignored it because as Bob says, sick of repeating himself.ANY RT album could be a divorce album really.Except Strict Tempo.
Maybe.
