XTC is a musically adventurous group from Swindon, UK. Formed in 1975, they first gained recognition as a post-punk new wave band but have since explored various genres including dub, folk-rock, psychedelia and pure pop. The regular line-up consisted of Andy Partridge on guitar and vocals, Colin Moulding on bass and vocals, Barry Andrews on keyboards (left in 1979), Dave Gregory on guitar and keyboards (left in 1999), and Terry Chambers on drums (left in 1983).

Originally emerging from the ashes of The Helium Kidz, XTC has consistently defied categorization throughout their career. Their willingness to experiment with different styles has made them a unique presence in the music industry.

With over three decades of active engagement, XTC's discography showcases their versatility and artistic growth. From their early days as pioneers of the post-punk movement to later ventures into diverse musical territories, XTC's commitment to pushing boundaries has solidified their status as one of the most influential bands from Swindon.

Back In Stock

Single LP reissue with all 15 songs. The first 1980s versions didn’t include Dear God and after it was a hit, Mermaid Smiled was dropped on some later versions to include Dear God. XTC's frothy, beatle-esque concept album about birth, death, and the passing of the seasons is hardly soft-headed: its melodic inventiveness and lush orchestrations supports bitterness (That's Really Super, Supergirl), displacement (The Man who Sailed Around His Soul), and agnostic tirade (Dear God) as often as it does the pleasures of sun and shower. The greatest achievement of XTC's post- Drums and Wires career, Skylarking is a must-have for the first days of spring.

LP - Now available on a single vinyl LP with all tracks for the first time ever. Pressed on superior 200gram vinyl. Song lyrics sheet included. The full album has only been on vinyl in 2LP deluxe editions playing at 45RPM.
