"1976-81 doesn't know what to be. In part it's aimed at being a 'greatest hits' compilation. In part it aims to be Invisible Hits 2 but contains way too much that the buyer will already have. If Ryko had to go ahead with this selection of tracks, it should have been released as two albums, with the greatest hits and the rarities kept apart." - PVs, issue 1

"It was effectively charging fans the price of a double album for a single album's worth of tracks, half of which were only slightly different to those they already had." - PVs, issue 4

"What we should have done is a separate 'Greatest Hits' collection and a 'Rarities' CD rather than expect people who'd already bought 'I Wanna Destroy You' five times to pay for it again. I think [1976-81] didn't work as either thing." - Robyn Hitchcock, February 1995
