A classic full of memories

(5 out of 5 stars)
"I have actually owned the LP version of "Invisible Hitchcock" for many years (well before this CD version was released). It must have been 1988 or '89 when I first heard it. My then flatmate; Dave(where are you now?), and I would drink copious amounts and put this album on. By the end of side 1, munchies were setting in so it was the perfect break (just after the psychedelic jungle beat that is "Pit of Souls") and then on to the hilarious "Trash" which opened side 2. Ahhhhh....the memories! The superb bass line to "A Skull .....", the surreal lyrics to...well most of the songs here, and the twisted, hilarious brutallity of "Blues in A" all help make this album a timeless classic for this listener. Now that we have the CD version, there are many more tracks available that were/are not on my old dusty LP version. However, on the sleeve notes of my LP it does say that one day a second album of similiar demos, b-sides, and general recorded lunacy will be released at a later date. Maybe these tracks are them. However, I certainly recommend it for the 12 or so tracks that were on the original vinyl version."
