You & Oblivion
As with the earlier Invisible Hitchcock (to which this can be seen as a partner album), You & Oblivion is an assemblage of leftover recordings, whose vintages range between 1981 and 1987. Many are acoustic recordings, and the album has a stripped-down quality. It was compiled and released in 1995 to tie in with Sequel's Robyn Hitchcock re-issue campaign.

Notes: CD states "All selections previously unissued. All songs written by Robyn Hitchcock". These statements are not accurate: "Surgery" (track 10) was previously available on a flexi-disc (as well as video); and "Polly on the Shore" is a traditional song. The CD booklet contains the first part of Hitchcock's story, The Professor. The second half was printed in the booklet accompanying the contemporary edition of Invisible Hitchcock.
