It’s not necessarily a sound associated with XTC per se but, with the twin guitar line-up now fully settled, relentless touring schedule and thoughts of recording with Lillywhite and Padgham in the studio where the same engineer/producer combo had established that drum sound, thinking of XTC in rock band terms was the ideal approach for the multitude of songs Partridge and Moulding were individually producing. Preceded by a set of live demos at Phonogram studios, XTC knew exactly what it wanted from a fourth album – even down to the original album title: Work Under Pressure (which helps make more sense of the sleeve photo), prior to setting foot in The Townhouse for the main recordings. The switch to Black Sea was made only to allay the then band manager’s sensitivity to the title being interpreted as a criticism of his management style. More power rock than power pop, when released in Sept. 1980, the album became XTC’s first Top 20 chart album in the UK, narrowly missed the Top 40 (#41) in the USA where it was issued in November, but spent an impressive 24 weeks on the Billboard chart nonetheless. ‘Generals And Majors’ and ‘Towers Of London’ provided twin back to back Top 40 UK singles released either side of the album in a tight eight weeks’ release space in September and October, while ‘Sgt. Rock’ propelled the band back into the UK top 20 in January 1981. The sense of immediacy, the rush of a band fully living up to it’s potential is as apparent now as it was when the album first came out.© DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.

XTC – Skylarking [New Vinyl LP] 200 Gram, UK – Import

XTC – Skylarking [New Vinyl LP] 200 Gram, UK – Import Artist: XTC Title: Skylarking Format: Vinyl LP Genre: Pop UPC: 633367789716 Release Date: 2018 Record Label: Ape House Uk Album Tracks1.

Mermaid Smiled12. The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul13. Dear God14. Dying15. Sacrificial Bonfire Limited 200gm vinyl LP pressing. Song lyric sheet included. Newly mastered by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering from tapes approved by Andy Partridge. 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». The full album has only been on vinyl in 2LP deluxe editions playing at 45RPM. When it came time to master the album on vinyl in 2010, Andy Partridge – still never entirely happy with the overall sound of the finished album – took it to award-winning mastering engineer John Dent, who noticed something that had never previously been spotted. Somewhere, possibly in the transfer from the multi-channel tape to the stereo master, a polarity had been reversed. This is not the same thing as a reversed left/right channel which puts a stereo picture out of phase and makes the sound unlistenable, but a much more difficult to pin down event that can be triggered by something as simple as a badly wired plug in the overall system which, nonetheless, removes some of the punch and presence from a finished recording. With the polarity corrected, the album – complete with original artwork and «Dear God» – was issued on vinyl as a double LP deluxe edition playing at 45rpm in the original rejected sleeve, then later reissued with the more familiar sleeve… Leaving some fans to wonder why they couldn’t have the 15 song LP on single vinyl playing at 33 & 1/3 RPM. Well, now they can – beautifully mastered for single LP from the corrected polarity masters by Jason at Loud Mastering and pressed on superior 200gram vinyl.© DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
