Mike - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yep Roc Records Date: Aug 31, 2007 5:18 PM Subject: [Robyn Hitchcock] I Wanna Go Backwards now available for pre-order To: m.swedene@gmail.com I Wanna Go Backwards CD and LP box sets now available for pre-order! Robyn Hitchcock has finally begun the daunting task of compiling his groundbreaking post-Soft Boys solo catalog with the I Wanna Go Backwards box set. The first of two upcoming collections, I Wanna Go Backwards includes three of his most classic albums. Hitchcock's first solo album, Black Snake Diamond Role, is a private rock album featuring ex-Soft Boys, a Vibrator, a Fur and other friends. I Often Dream of Trains finds Robyn at his all-acoustic zenith with a seminal collection of kaleidoscopic, stripped down folk. Eye continues in the tradition of Trains draping Hitchcock's signature layered lyrical imagery over his most musically direct work to date. All the albums feature bonus tracks and enhanced liner notes: Robyn's signature reminiscences (BSDR & WTMB), an excerpt from a novel in progress (Trains), and original poetry (Eye), plus previously unseen photos and Hitchcock cartoons. Additional bonus material includes While Thatcher Mauled Britain Part 1 & 2, a two-disc comprehensive look at a labyrinth of Robyn's largely unreleased solo b-sides, outtakes and home recordings. Click the button to stream the full box set! The 5-CD set contains the three expanded reissues, plus While Thatcher Mauled Britain: a 2-CD collection of 57 bonus tracks (including 20 previously unreleased songs), available exclusively with this set. The 8-LP set contains replicas of the three original LPs, plus the 5-LP collection of bonus material, While Thatcher Mauled Britain, all on 180 gram vinyl! In addition, you'll receive free MP3 downloads of every song, plus an autographed, limited edition poster! Pre-order now at the Yep Roc Web Shop! ________________________________ Black Snake Diamond Role now available for pre-order! Deluxe reissue of 1981 debut solo album with 8 bonus tracks & expanded packaging! Pre-order now at the Yep Roc Web Shop. Hitchcock's first solo release, Black Snake Diamond Rolee was recorded during the final days of his influential post-punk combo the Soft Boys. Players included all three Soft Boys: Kimberly Rew, Matthew Seligman and Morris Windsor as well as Vibrators guitarist Knox, Psychedelic Furs drummer Vince Ely and soon-to-be synth-pop star Thomas Dolby. Here Hitchcock finds his solo sound with iconic psychedelia like "Acid Bird" and "Brenda's Iron Sledge." In this edition of the album the original tracks are rounded-out by eight bonus cuts, most of them outtakes from the original recording sessions. Click the button to stream the album! "Black Snake Diamond Role was the first Robyn Hitchcock LP - that meant a lot if you were Robyn Hitchcock," Robyn remarks. "The first session was in June 1980, while John Lennon was alive and Jimmy Carter was president. The final one was in January 1981, when they weren't." ________________________________ I Often Dream of Trains now available for pre-order! Deluxe reissue of 1984 album with 6 previously unreleased bonus tracks & expanded packaging! Pre-order now at the Yep Roc Web Shop. Robyn Hitchcock's 1984 album I Often Dream of Trains expands upon the introspective leanings of 1981's Black Snake Diamond Role while further developing his signature lyrical imagery and spare, ominous melodies on this mostly acoustic album. Here Robyn's sharp humor ("Uncorrected Personality Traits") sits comfortably alongside some of his most intimate ballads ("Trams of Old London," "Cathedral"). On Trains the spare arrangements crack the Hitchcockian world wide open allowing for a never-before-glimpsed portrait of the artist in his most artistically exposed incarnation to date. Click the button to stream the album! "For 1983 I wanted to see what happened if I stopped playing gigs, making records, or having any attempt at a career whatsoever. Whatever music I made was purely for myself, without trying to speak the language of the day. The result was I Often Dream of Trains." ________________________________ Eye now available for pre-order! Deluxe reissue of 1990 album with 4 previously unreleased bonus tracks & expanded packaging! Pre-order now at the Yep Roc Web Shop. A sort of sequel to I Often Dream of Trains, 1990's Eye is another stark, solo work that served as a creative shelter for Hitchcock at this time in his career. During this period he was recording a major-label rock album quite different from what he put forth on Eye. "I got to record Eye at a time when a lot of people were on my case," explains Hitchcock. "It had nobody else on it and no Alternative Chart expectations. It was luxury, a wide open meadow to kvetch in." The disc still rings true with fans and live crowds with the inclusion of favorites such as, "Queen Elvis" and "Glass Hotel."
