"My Wife and My Dead Wife" comes from Fegmania!, the 1985 album Robyn Hitchcock made with the Egyptians, and the title alone tells you whose gloriously skewed imagination you've wandered into. Hitchcock wrote the words and the music, sings it and plays the guitar.
Andy Metcalfe doubles up on bass and keyboards, Morris Windsor plays the drums, and Pat Collier recorded it.
