You are buying an ORIGINAL music CD, Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians - Element of Light, the sixth studio album from English singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock and third with his backing band, the Egyptians.
Although a studio album, two tracks, "The President" and "Lady Waters & The Hooded One", were live recordings made for the BBC.
As with many of Hitchcock's songs, each composition has its own meaning, with "Airscape" cited several times by Hitchcock as a favourite amongst his own compositions, the track concerning Hitchcock's 'favourite beach' which is located on the Isle of Wight, and provided a backdrop for the cover shots on this CD.
Some meanings of the other tracks include "Ted, Woody & Junior" mocking the homoeroticism of bodybuilding magazines, and "Winchester" paying a tribute to the English town that lies on the main train line between London and the Lymington terminus, which connects to the Isle of Wight, where, of course, Hitchcock's favourite beach is (see "Airscape"), and "The President" making reference to then U.S. President Ronald Reagan's visit to Bitburg, where members of the Waffen-SS were buried.
