I agree, what a pity this wasn't fleshed out into a full XTC track. Oh well.

Still, listening to Andy Partridge's Fuzzy Warbles series, you realise the embarrassment of riches that never saw the light of day.......

even 9 years after the last album came out, I still hear new XTC songs/demos/remasters.. its awesome! wish the band was still making music together.. *sigh*

Say, how do I find a download of this song? I've been searching for years. Thanks for posting this. brilliant song!

[TheMightyHartley]

@xnonsuchx Exactly! The Rag and Bone Buffet stuff, Wonder Annual, Bumpercars, Ship Trapped In Ice, End of the Pier, Sonic Boom and on and on......

Most bands would KILL for songs like these!

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

Thanks for posting this. I've had this song in my head for years and it's nice to hear the actual version.

I had this 12" when it came out, and probably haven't listened to these tracks in 20 years (Haunted Heart + Good Things + Ella Guru)... Thank you so much...
