Storefront Hitchcock (soundtrack)
album by Robyn Hitchcock
Storefront Hitchcock is the title of a soundtrack album by Robyn Hitchcock, released subsequent to the 1998 film of the same name, which was directed by Jonathan Demme.
Recorded by John Hanlon and David Hewitt on Remote Recording Services' Silver Truck, the soundtrack CD features twelve songs, interspersed with several ad-libbed Hitchcock monologues.
The songs themselves include five not previously released in any form by Hitchcock, one of which is an acoustic cover of Jimi Hendrix' "The Wind Cries Mary". Hitchcock would make full studio recordings of a couple of others for subsequent albums, although "Let's Go Thundering" and "Where Do You Go When You Die" remain unavailable elsewhere. The concurrent double-LP vinyl edition contains additional songs, some not found in the film.

Why this record matters
The phrase “album by Robyn Hitchcock” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7619977. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998, 1974, 1999 and 2007.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
