i found this album on cassette tape in austin tx in 1998 at a thrift store for a dollar. I felt as if i had discovered a gold plated diamond. I used to listen to them in the 80's but didnt know about this album. greatest.
@grahamthedj Same here! I've loved this band since I was 14! Best. Band. Ever. My boys from Swindon! Andy Partridge is a god, Colin Moulding is a poet, and Terry Chambers was the best drummer EVER! (and hot!) Swoon!
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands, what a find!... and an incredibly rare site being that Andy Partridge was racked with debilitating stage fright around this time, hence their refusal to tour again, even for this album (English Settlement). I'm rather amazed this is available.
There's a great bio on them called 'Chalkhills for Children', I highly recommend it to fans who have not read it already. Very insightful.
nice im trying to get more xtc on youtube im looking for great songs that arent on i just put on Here Comes President Kill Again from Oranges and Lemons check it out and give me ideas for new songs

The crowd can't believe what they're hearing. This is sort of the flip side of "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic"

The lyrics in the bridge are amazing... "People will always be tempted to wipe their feet on anything that has "welcome" written on it".

this was their last tour. they became a studio band after this.
from the beginning, each album they put out has been a universe unto itself

I love the bass on this song. I wish it was a little louder in the mix. Great song though.
