They should give this plus the 'Play At Home' program an official DVD release.

PS anchormoth: THANK YOU for posting this cool series of clips!

Never saw this before. Great post. Was this to be part of the dvd package that I had read about a few years back that Colin Moulding was working on...that has never 'officially' seen the light of day? Wish an official dvd of the likes of this along with their singles videos would get released.

Come on someone out there....do it!

Great band.

Is that Hugh Padgham engineering? If I remember correctly, it was him "knob twiddling", and Steve Lillywhite producing ...

Whoa! Great clip!  Now if we could find a clean copy of "Play At Home" ... ??

Now, that's an amazing documentary. Thank you very much for posting it, man!

@youser96R XTC wanted to be dropped, which is why they didn't make any records for 6 years.

to answer your question in your other comment, this was done in 1980.

Terry Chambers what a legend "he plays drums and......space invaders". Best Chambers quote was from Melody Maker 3.11.1980 "ere do you reckon these fuckers in kaftans would have our 'ands orf if we asked for another drink?".

I just read some of the comments. I had no idea Richard was involved way back then. My hats off to you Richard for that. I was very disappointed when I heard Virgin dropped XTC who share my top band spot with the Police.
