Respect is the tenth studio album by Robyn Hitchcock and his sixth with backing band, the Egyptians, released on A&M in 1993.

Background

"Respect" was the group's fourth and final studio album under contract to A&M, and Hitchcock's last record with the Egyptians. The album contains ten Hitchcock originals.

The album has a Hitchcock oil painting on its front cover entitled "Red Lemon Days", which was the original title for the album. The release includes a Hitchcock written short story, "Moose Mark and the Prince of Cones", in its inlay.

The album was written and recorded in the period following the death of Hitchcock's father, and several songs reflect this explicitly, particularly the opening track.

A promotional version of the album titled "Spectre: Robyn Hitchcock Explains the Songs on 'Respect'" was released by A&M records. On this version each song is preceded by a brief spoken commentary by Robyn exploring the track's lyrical themes and song structure.[6]

Recording

The album was recorded using a mobile studio, hired from the BBC, at Hitchcock's home in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.[7] Hitchcock explained the decision by saying, "I've never really cared much for going in and recording in the studio, so it seemed like the easiest solution was to have the studio come to record with us."[7] The band rehearsed at the house over the summer and then when it came time to record, the group and their respective wives, family and friends all stayed at the house while production took place.[7] Most of the recording was done in the living room, where the furniture had been removed and carpets pulled up.[7] The kitchen was chosen for the vocals because of its good acoustics.[7]

Hitchcock has said that he does not like the record.[8] Although he thinks the songs are good he was not happy with the result.[8] He partly blames this on how unsettled his life was at that time, saying: "I was ... at a bit of a fault line in my life. I was going back and forth across the Atlantic all the time, and wasn’t really properly focused on how it came out."[8] The extended time it took to record the album meant that he lost focus and since then has made a point of making records in short two- or three-day bursts.[8]
