    Just an observation:

     

    I checked out the VMP message board last night and noticed a palpable over-excitedness and  hive mentality. Elevated excitement over mediocre artists on a different color of wax... it's like they're VC on meth-infused steroids.

     

    (Didn't mean to single you out, btw neo_styles, and if it makes you happy, good on 'ya!)

    Isn't that all of us on this board too?

    I think I remember either reading or watching an interview with Andy and he was saying that the record company didn't want anything to do with "Dear God". Also, he hated Todd Rundgren and was at odds with him during the entire recording session. I grew up listening to Drums and Wires, so that is one of my favs.

     

     

    Drums and Wires is so good. "Reel by Reel" and "Outside World" are jams. But the whole thing is great. 

     

    And yeah the Skylarking sessions weren't exactly  fun times but in the end they all agree that Todd actually did a real good job. The liner notes in the box set  talk about that and have some good stories. Andy's book goes even further. Great read. 

  3. XTC have been slowly putting out reissues but not in any real order and mostly focusing on Blu Ray 5.1 audio.  But English Settlement was put out in a nice deluxe box.  And the Skylarking box is the shit.  2XLP 45 RPM all that jazz.  I would love the same treatment to Black Sea or White Music.  Anybody hear anything about what might be next and what to expect?

     

    Also feel free to post anything XTC related in here because dudes come on I did a search and literally nothing came up.
