If you like live albums, Gotta Let This Hen Out is a cracking collection, in some cases surpassing the original versions. The studio albums can be a little inconsistent at times, but Fegmania and Element of Light both feature some great material. I thought the more recent remasterings (the box sets from a few years back) were rather on the bright side, though not unbearable, with plenty of great bonus tracks. The Rhinos are solid as well.Don't forget his first solo album, Black Snake Diamond Role, which also features a lot of the same crew. I wouldn't limit myself to just albums that are credited to the Egyptians: Black Snake Diamond Role and Groovy Decay (and/or Groovy Decoy) are really quite good and easily rank among his best work.But I highly recommend Fegmania - which these days is probably my favorite Hitchcock album. Lots of melodic, catchy, guitar-based pop with his trademark surreal/silly/trippy lyrics. In my opinion, it's one of his very best and most consistent albums.Element of Light is also quite good, and easily another favorite.

I think there's value to pretty much his whole catalog.of course that's more & less, to varying degrees, etc.Folks have mentioned the two earlier solo works 'I Often Dream Of Trains' & 'Eye' & I concur- there are plenty of works beyond those recorded with The Egyptians that are really great. He also recorded non-solo non-Egyptians albums early on too which are well worth checking out (again name checked in earlier posts).Also, as previously mentioned, The Egyptians are essentially The Soft Boys minus Kimberly Rew, but that's a major minus- as the Hitchcock-Rew guitar interplay is a huge part of what made The Soft Boys, well, The Soft Boys (and so fantastic).That said, the albums with The Egyptians are all pretty terrific in my book. I'm a pretty big fan of most everything up through the early 90's.and though I'm less deeply familiar with material after that, I am fairly familiar with it, & there are plenty of truly great moments to be unearthed- just for me, it seems to have less staying power & doesn't make as strong an impression overall. 1) Element of Light and 2) Queen Elvis are the order that I went through my strange and wonderful discovery of Robyn Hitchcock in the mid-80s.

Those two records with the Egyptians, IMO, are his best works. Andy Metcalfe's basswork is just extraordinary, and I had never heard a glass harmonica before until I heard it on 'Airscape', possibly Robyn Hitchcock's most beautiful song.If I was pressed to name Robyn's Hitchcock's best song ever? 'She Doesn't Exist Anymore', off of Perspex Island, backing vocals by Michael Stipe.The opening lyrics are sweet, perverse, abstract and honest, just like Robyn.' I used to ring you and put down the phoneOnce wore a hole in your dressEven tried voodoo right outside your homeBut these days I just couldn't care less'.
