Robyn Hitchcock's large armory of material is tailor-made for the reissue circuit -- his entire post-Soft Boys, pre-A&M output was remastered and re-released in the early '90s by Rhino with bonus cuts and extended liner notes for ingestion by the newly enlightened college radio demographic -- so it comes as no surprise that amidst a career resurgence in 2007 due to the well received Spooked and Olé! Tarantula, as well as the Sundance Channel documentary Sex, Food, Death & Insects. comes another set of reissues, this time from the Yep Roc label. Each disc comes with original Hitchcock artwork, comics, and stories, and the remastering, especially on BSDR is exceptional. With more reissues to come, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and while the construction of I Wanna Go Backwards may be a bit schizophrenic, it's all in there; every snake, lizard, pad of cheese, boring little creep, furry leg, and nostril with a bean in it.
