So I have come to the end of my look back at the albums of XTC, there are others that weren’t included but I don’t have anything after 1992 and am yet to get anything […]

XTC – Well I Never (Part 10)
Nonsuch is the final album I will be looking at for now, although there are some further releases they aren’t readily available, unless you are prepared to pay £200 for a copy, and I’m not. […]
XTC – Well I Never (Part 9)
Oranges & Lemons 1989 The name of the album came from the old English nursery rhyme and was also referenced in the song “Ballet for a Rainy Day” on Skylarking. This was their second double album, after […]
XTC-Well I Never (Part 8)
Skylarking 1986 I know only three tracks well from Skylarking which were all, at some point, singles and appeared on the Fossil Fuel compilation I had, half of which now belongs to Dave and the […]
XTC- Well I Never (Part 7)
The Big Express 1984 I should have bought this when I saw it in the used bin, but I didn’t and I regret that. As I dais earlier, I ordered a copy from an online […]
XTC – Well I Never (Part 6)

XTC – Well I Never (Part 3)
Drums and Wires – 1979 Released in August 1979, only 10 months on from ‘Go 2’, and where I come into the story with the first track I heard, and loved, the single ‘We’re only […]
XTC – Well I Never (Part 2)
Go 2 – 1978 The second album release of 1978 was ‘Go 2’ in October with a Hipgnosis designed cover which deliberately rather underplays everything. Sound wise the tracks are coming from the same place […]
XTC – Well I never (Part 1)
Music is such an odd thing. Sometimes it doesn’t connect and years can go by until, quite suddenly, it does. I was watching the XTC documentary ‘This is Pop” (which is excellent and recommended) for […]
