Greatest hits if there'd been any
But that makes sense if you listen to this album with its Nick Drake-esque songs from EYE. As other reviewer notes, probably for tempo and pacing purposes 'balloon man' was left out. I am biased as a fan, but to be honest I don't think I could have come up with a better selection of tunes to prove that RH was one of the best songwriters of his era. Unfortunately his era was dominated by Duran Duran and Culture Club. .

Comprehensive retrospective of Hitchcock's quirkiness
Unfortunately it offers nothing from his most upbeat, poppy album, Globe of Frogs, and because of its nature as a compilation, fails to replicate the unity of any of the individual albums. This album covers Hitchcock's early work w/ the Egyptians, his later work w/ the Egyptians and his brilliant solo acoustic ablum, Eye. For someone wanting to sample from RH's broad album mix, this is a good start, though not as rewarding as the 2-CD Soft Boys (his early band) compilation, "1976-1981. ".
