With more than 200 fan contributions from around the world, this book sheds light on XTC’s background and the continued popularity of a band that stopped touring in 1982.
Formed in 1972
in Swindon, XTC had ten Top 40 UK albums & six Top 40 singles, including
‘Life Begins At The Hop’, ‘Making Plans For Nigel’, ‘Generals And Majors’,
‘Towers Of London’, ‘Sgt. Rock (Is Going To Help Me)’ and ‘Senses Working
Overtime’.
Often considered
‘The Modern Beatles’, and acclaimed by fellow musicians (Bill Nelson, Robyn
Hitchcock, Nick Heyward, Rick Buckler), producers (John Leckie, Steve
Lillywhite, Paul Fox) and stand-up comedians (Joanna Neary, Stewart Lee), their
highly individual approach to arrangement and exquisite songwriting culminated
in the Todd Rungren-produced 1986 album Skylarking. From their formation in
1972 until their demise in 2006, Messrs Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding
ensured that XTC were to be a band like no other.
