Invisible Hitchcock is a studio album by Robyn Hitchcock.[3][4] A collection of leftovers and out-takes recorded from 1981 to 1985, Hitchcock's sleeve notes explain that the album was assembled because the songs "didn't fit in with what I was doing at the time and do fit in with each other now".
The US version of the LP (on Relativity) replaced "It's a Mystic Trip" with "Grooving on a Inner Plane". The CD versions of the album omit "Grooving on a Inner Plane" but include additional tracks.
