XTC - SKYLARKING: DELUXE EDITION (180g 45rpm 2LP)

XTC Skylarking: Deluxe Edition on 180g 45RPM 2LP

“We are spreading the album over two discs to sound much richer and warmer, and we are also cutting at 45RPM and not 33RPM, to make the high end clearer and smoother. Also tracks that got lost in the shuffle between the UK and US versions will be reinstated, both Dear God and Mermaid Smiled are in their proper places at last.” - Andy Partridge

Packaged with the original artwork that the band planned (and Virgin banned). This deluxe version is in a board book format with copious notes from Andy and Colin, original sketches, lyrics and photographs.

In 1989, XTC's Skylarking was ranked #48 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s. Ranked #15 on Pitchfork’s Top 100 Albums of the 1980s, calling it a “beacon of psychedelic greenery.”
