You & Oblivion

You & Oblivion

You & Oblivion is the title of a solo Robyn Hitchcock album, released on CD in 1995. All 22 tracks are billed as previously unreleased, although "Surgery" had been included on the video edition of Gotta Let This Hen Out a decade previously, and "Ghost Ship" had also surfaced previously as a B-side, albeit in an alternative version.

The album was not conceived on its own terms, being a compilation of leftovers and demos which Hitchcock had accumulated over several years during the 1980s. In this context it can be seen as part two of Invisible Hitchcock, assembled from the same principle. You & Oblivion differs though, in that it is exclusively acoustic.

The packaging includes part 1 of Hitchcock's short story "The Professor", which is concluded in the insert to the concurrent re-issue of Invisible Hitchcock. Several of his line drawings illustrate the story, and the front cover is also his own work, rendered in oils on canvas.
