Gotta Let This Hitchcock Out!
Rhino Offers Up Second Batch Of Three Robyn Hitchcock Reissues Due February 28
LOS ANGELES -- Rhino Records, the world's premier musical archivist, has set February 28 as the release date for the second set of three Robyn Hitchcock reissues in the label's amazing nine-CD campaign: Fegmania!, Gotta Let This Hen Out!, and Element Of Light.
The albums (availabe in CD format only) will have a suggested retail list price of $15.98 and will contain some of the best material that Robyn has ever recorded. All three titles will also be available through Rhino Mail Order at 1-800-0020.
As with all Rhino releases, special care and attention has gone into the creation of these three CDs. All tracks have been digitally remastered, making the albums sound even better than when they were originally released; and rare bonus tracks are included on each album, providing even the most rabid of fans with something new and special.
Fegmania! -- This album, originally released in 1985, features the tunes "My Wife And My Dead Wife" and "Heaven", and offers the first glimpse at Hitchocck's new backing band The Egyptians -- which is partly made up of old members of The Soft Boys, Hitchcock's previous ensemble. Bonus tracks include "Egyptian Cream" (both live and demo versions), "Heaven" (live), and "Insect Mother" (demo).
Gotta Let This Hen Out! -- Originally released in 1985, this live album (recorded at The Marquee in London) offers highly energetic versions of tunes from Hitchcock's past. Considered a must for any true Hitchcock entusiast, this important record features the tunes "Listening To The Higsons", "Only The Stones Remain", and "Brenda's Iron Sledge".
Element Of Light -- This 1986 release is one of Robyn's finest albums. Packed from the first note to the last with brilliant melodies and lyrics that could only come from the mind of Sir Robyn, this amazing record features the tunes "If You Were A Priest" and "The Leopard", along with a live version of "Airscape" and a rarity entitled "The Can Opener".
