Propellor Time is the eighteenth studio album by Robyn Hitchcock, recorded and released with Peter Buck of R.E.M., Scott McCaughey of Young Fresh Fellows and Bill Rieflin of Ministry and R.E.M., who are billed collectively as The Venus 3 in 2010.

Contents

Additionally, an array of guest musicians collaborated with Hitchcock on Propellor Time; selected tracks feature contributions (some dating back to the Olé! Tarantula era) from John Paul Jones, Johnny Marr, Nick Lowe, and former Soft Boy/Egyptian band mate Morris Windsor.

Different versions of "The Afterlight", "Luckiness", and "Sickie Boy" had appeared on previous releases.

Outtakes from the Propellor Time recording sessions are available on tracks 2, 5, 6 and 12 of the inevitable 2010 Hitchcock rarities compilation, "Trolley Bus 2".
