Interesting - how does it compare with XTC releases of the same period? I suppose 'Skylarking' would be the closest, which was released end of 1986.OMG this is class, I had been looking at getting this one for quite a few months and I am glad I did, now was it recorded in 1987 or was it 1967?

Well, I would describe it as typical late 60's psychedelia reminiscent of Beatles, Stones and Floydish in parts, but being XTC the playing and execution is quite stunning, and in parts somewhat tongue in cheek which goes along with XTC territory, I am quite tempted to get 25 O'Clock album that was release before it.
Well worth a punt IMHO
