"Robyn Hitchcock" was the first official collection of pre-released Robyn Hitchcock material, issued in 1995 by Sequel Records.

This little-noted compilation is worthy of particular attention, being the first and only album to include the studio recording, "Statue with a Walkman", a humorous depiction of a haemoglobin-counting figure found resting at the bottom of a garden. (Hitchcock would re-write the song with new sections, for the "Storefront Hitchcock" project a few years later.)

The rest of the CD includes titles from his 1980s albums, nine of which had recently undergone repackaging and re-release. There is one title pulled from each, and the insert to this CD advertises and illustrates them all.
