Free Music Notes for I Wanna Go Backwards
Free Music Review: The BEST Box Set since Jellyfish! A MUST HAVE for anybody with a clue!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is worth every penny simply for the double-disc of unreleased material, 'While Thatcher Mauled Britain'!!
This set does make the Rhino versions retain value for about three songs each (so far), but those are mostly demos. If you fell victim to "out-of-print" prior to owning them, you're in absolute heaven here as those six or so will go totally un-noticed under the expansive shadow of W.T.M.B. considering that the 3 albums here are just as expanded as the Rhino versions!
If you're considering a dive into Robyn, this is a brilliant start even though 'Eye' is notoriously one of his least favored records.
If you want to simply know how a box set SHOULD be done, this is a model for sure! For me, it replaces the wound left by YepRoc's Billy Bragg volumes (a completist had it all already), and Robyn continues to exist as THE example for how the bulk of humanity has no taste whatsoever. The fact that he doesn't have the magnitude of respect nor icon status as Elvis Costello or...(shudder)...Springsteen, is shameful.
I have every Rhino re-issue, and don't regret the first second nor the first penny of buying both the CD AND Vinyl versions of this set!!
Easily, my best purchases of 2007.
Free Music Review: I REALLY Wanna Go Backwards
Hit: 5 Stars
This collection may be slightly incomplete, but I think some of the (very few) missing tracks in question will pop up on later releases in the reissue series. The only other problem I have with this nearly flawless set is the tracklisting on Trains. I prefer the Rhino version, but all of the good tracks are still on the disc as bonus songs. This set is a must for new fans and long-time fanatics alike. I can't wait to go backwards again with the Egyptians set coming out this spring.Free Music Review: Did somebody say Syd Barrett????
Hit: 5 Stars
THIS CAT.....Robyn Hitchcock is one talented motherflubber!!!
Just check out his "just woke up 6 mintues ago" killer version of Syd Barrett's "Dominoes" and the talent will be smack-dab in your face.
Rock On Robyn
Cheers

This is an amazing collection of songs.
The man never stops writing.
The demos alone are worth it.
