Notes

The first 15.000 copies were accompanied with a 12" bonus: Go+.

Released with a gatefold insert. One side contains a colour photograph of XTC with some text on the bottom left hand corner which can be read by holding the insert at an angle against the 'missing' back cover text. The other side contains a map of Swindon on the left hand side of the fold-out and photographs and a piece of text on the right. Also included was a special unique inner sleeve, with a rubber-stamp in pink.

    Underrated XTC album in my opinion.

    This pressing is quite punchy and bass heavy.

      Any idea of when they repressing this for vinyl? Hard to find a clean copy

        Sounds a lot like Be Bop Deluxe's final album Drastic Plastic (1978)

          1978. What a year for LPs.
          Partridge should do a full 'Deluxe' version of this with the 3 out-takes from the box-set,the 2 out-takes that appeared on later 7"'s,'Are You Receiving' single........and all the other stuff he has ferretted away.

            One of the greatest and most innovative albums not only of the late seventies but of all times! Especially "Go +" was a sensation and sounded like nothing I had ever heard before!
