Colin is a fantastic bassist. These are some of the most talented guys in the world and so few people know about them. Makes one feel privileged, almost.
Or ,at the very least ,on par and ,at times, more progressive. McCartney sure didn't write anything as good as Partridge or Moulding after The Beatles. That's why I still listen to XTC and have long disguarded most of McCartney's solo stuff. It's sad that the music industry has dummied itself down so much for the almighty buck, that it doesn't have a sowball's hope in hell of recognizing what well written music actually is.
This song never gets old...

This is ANDY ON BASS I believe -- not Colin. It's a straight Andy demo according to Fuzzy Warbles. Can anyone confirm that's incorrect?? Andy??

@dmlovic Colin is on somet of the FW songs but most of the basslines are by Andy. but don't know about this one.

As one review of XTC's "Rag 'n' Bone Buffet" album said, "XTC throws away more good songs than most bands write."

Andy is my all time favourite songwriter and live performer. Check out the XTC concert from Melbourne early 80´s. Brilliant!

Paul would definitely be proud to have penned this song,
it certainly has all the hallmarks.

@berherbi Personally I think he's a step up from Paul, although probably heavily influenced by him. Maybe I just prefer Colins style.

Listen to that bass guitar - Colin was great.

Easily my most favourite bass player ever.
Has he touched a bass guitar lately?

Most of Andy's demos are him alone on all instruments.

In a four hundred years, they will discover that he and Moulding were a notch or two above Lemmons & McCartwheel.
Absoluteley delightful.
