[Author's note - This is a list I compiled in 1994. In or about 1999 I compiled a proper database with the help of a guy called JH3 and we put it online at http://www.jh3.com/robyn/base/ so if you want to, you can get a lot more info there. As of 2005, the data are managed by Roberta Cowan. =b] Robyn Hitchcock A-Z, version 1.0. This list represents an attempt to document the songs of the man ROBYN HITCHCOCK, from the most radio friendly to the most impossibly rare. I am beginning to realize just what a daunting task this is; he is a swiftly moving target, and his whereabouts and activities both past and present seem largely unknown even to those who are proud to be called FEGMANIAX. Therefore, like many soft, fleshy documents found sprawled about the internet, consider it inaccurate and out of date. If you have any additions or corrections to this list, however minor, please feel free to send them to me at . For this version of the list, that includes comments on songs! For the purposes of this listing, the following abbreviations will be used.

The A&M albums (gf,qe,pi,r) are the only ones you might find at your average store, and even these may disappear. A lot of things can still be aquired as imports (telnet cdconnection.com) or through Mrs. Wafflehead.

Be polite, the subscription processing unit is a real person (and quite a knowledgeable one at that).

There is another listing in which this information has been omitted for the benefit of those who wish to discover and interpret the songs themselves.
