This was the fifth XTC studio album, out on Virgin Records in the UK and Epic in the US. The band stopped touring after this LP and became more of a studio only group. Interesting midpoint between “Making Plans For Nigel” (1979) and “Dear God” (1986). Includes “Senses Working Overtime.”
Still looking for a 2xLP version, maybe a UK pressing.
My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is an original US single LP release, which has few tracks than the original UK release. Later US releases followed the 2xLP format.

@john Gorgeous album – bought the double vinyl when it was released. Given my tender age of 17 at the time, the album was a very formative influence on my musical predilections. It also kinda blew me away that this followed 'Drums and Wires', in terms of stylistic vision. The early 80s were a super-interesting time for music.

The 2xLP version is still on my wantslist but you don’t see it too often in shops – I’ve heard it all digitally of course but would love to find a 2xLP to own
