XTC Official Thread.

Starting off with an amusing interview with XTC frontman Andy Partridge.

I was going to start an XTC thread.....glad you did that.
Hmmm....think I'll post some of my favorite songs and lps soon and thoughts about the band.
After dinner.........

I did search for old posts, but the 'Games' section was the main offender, so I got this going.
Here's two compilations I bought on Vinyl years back.

From Black Sea I think....

Smokeless Zone.

Favorite lps are:
Black Sea
English Settlement
Skylarking
Oranges and Lemons
Nonsuch
Having said that all the lps are good if you are an XTC fan.....but Drums and Wires is where they started sounding like the XTC I liked....clever songs and lyrics.
The last 2 are also great but imho they are more Andy Partridge lps even though Moulding wrote a few tracks on them.

Five camera angles from the BBC... Terry's drum fill at 4.14 is magical!
The Small Faces 'esque' ending is sweet.
Lyrics are slick-
