I was very lucky to have seen this band - bearing in mind Andy Partridge's retirement, from live performances, shortly after. The gig I was at was in Sheffield, where they were promoting the brilliant 'Black Sea' album. Probably about 1980? The crazy projected visuals and sound mix were the best I'd experienced, up to that point, at any concert.

Right, here comes the question: I own 'Black Sea' on vinyl - and have therefore not heard it, in its entirety for a few decades, as I don't seem to have space for setting up a turntable and amp. I've never bought any other album and don't think I even have any singles knocking around, either. So, what CDs should I be looking at getting for the best XTC experiences?


I knew Andy was working on it but didn't realise it was so imminent (the vinyl edition from a few years back is sold out now I think).

So if you haven't picked up Skylarking yet, it might be worth going for this version.


I might get this. The CD version I've got rarely gets listened to as the sound is really thin. I'm guessing this is the result of the reversed polarity thing.
