Covering the space between his beginnings with The Soft Boys and his recent string of acclaimed albums, I Wanna Go Backwards collects a decade worth of Robyn Hitchcock albums: Black Snake Diamond Role, I Often Dream of Trains,  and Eye. All three albums are available individually with bonus tracks, but the box gives you two extra discs of demos, charmingly titled While Thatcher Mauled Britain. The perfect opportunity to catch up with a widely-mentioned but still little-known British songwriter. His surreal, witty compositions deserve many more fans than they presently claim.
