Luminous Groove- Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians

Looking forward to the new box-set but, for completists, we've only really got the unheard tracks to anticipate. I'm wondering why the cover for Fegmania has been redesigned for LG - if memory serves the blurry original was a still from the motion picture that accompanied The Man With The Lightbulb Head - anyone shed any ...er....light on the change? Copyright issues perhaps ?

For non-completists the Yep Roc re-issues are a convenient way to fast-track their accumulation of the back catalogue only the re-issues rarely reflect either the content or running order of the originals. Hence fools like me buy the lot anyway.

Happy listening.

As a follow-up I noticed Peter Buck in The Sun a couple of weeks back (an REM article) predict that Robyn Hitchcock's next album will be his best ever. Robyn's official site is notoriously short on news so I'm looking for any snippets regarding the masterpiece-in-making.
