Digging through the vinyl for XTC

Since Olivia was talking XTC earlier this week on FB, I figured I’d pull out an unbelievable album from the group — English Settlement. Pictured is the UK version.  Those unfortunate souls who bought the U.S. version got the shaft with five less songs.  I was one of those unfortunate souls, but didn’t realize it at the time.  I was unaware the other five songs existed until the UK (import) showed up one day at Schoolkids.  Talk about being pissed and happy at the same time.  

If you don’t have the full version, absolutely get it.  You’re missing some gems as in Fly on the Wall and Down in the Cockpit.
