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.

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
