Wot? No Magic Roundabout? Seriously when was this filmed?

[fegda]

Ahah,

I was looking forward seeing one of your famous roundabout :)

Seriously, I don't really know when :(

The most unrated band in the world! I was a fan from the beginning and bought every record, tape, and CD as they came out, each one a classic in it's own right. I always try to turn people on to them if they've never listen to them to this day. They are like the Beatles or Pink Floyd in that they are a band you have to listen carefully to. The chord progressions and words of each song always made me wonder, "Where are they taking this to now?" XTC - one of the greatest bands ever!

Great acoustic rendition. I actually prefer this version to the one on "The Big Express".

Anyone know where this was filmed?? I envy the ones sitting there listening to them play. OMG what a treat for them. Sweet tune and want to visit that area why I would love to know where this area would be? (My little town named after a place that also has a lot of round-a-bouts. People hate them here; I think it slows the traffic down to a safer speed.) 5*'s + YEP. LOVELY share of a GEM.;-))) DELIGHTFUL and fun to end my musical gifted-day with.

So lovely. I have a guitarist magazine from the period when this was released. Some amazing techniques used by Partridge et al to record a seriously underrated album.

@peepingpom This was filmed in July of 1983.

Great! Not much video from them at this time.
