Now this is long out of print and I reckon is therefore fair game to download but if you know otherwise then please get in touch. I have posted links to the XTC archive site and it is always worth a visit. The boys are largely out of the music scene now and openly so. This is a great find and thanks once again to Jobe who has given me permission to use his links so that I feel free to post the links again here! If you haven’t got this and you are a fan you really need this!
