Standard Black Heavyweight Vinyl
Steven Wilson's 2016 remix of XTC's masterpiece, ‘Skylarking’ - now on vinyl for the first time.
For many years, ‘Skylarking’ was XTC's most mythical album ith tales of “lost” multi-track tapes (sadly true of other XTC albums but not this one), a song originally dropped from the album only to be replaced when it inadvertently became a hit single in the USA, a perfect match, on paper, between the ideal Britpop band a decade before the term was invented & an Anglophile super-producer that turned rather imperfect in personality terms but still resulted in a classic album.
Still, a masterpiece remains a masterpiece however traumatic its origins & this is one of those few albums that sounded great at the time & sounds just as great, if not better, now. When Steven Wilson remixed the album in 2016 – for new stereo & 5.1 Surround Sound editions, the release was successful again with both original & a new generation of fans. However, this remix was never released on vinyl - until now.
