Groovy Decay is the second album by Robyn Hitchcock, released in 1982. Robyn is reported to have been so unhappy with the final versions of some of the recordings that he afterward released a second version of the album with alternative versions of a number of the tracks and different track order. This release is entitled 'Groovy Decoy', was released under a different label and features completely different artwork. A re-issue in the mid 1990s brought the two sets of tracks together under the album title 'Gravy Deco'.
