XTC was under the gun with this album. They were pressured by their record company to produce an album that would sell 70,000 units or they would be dropped. The cure? Sound less British. So, they brought in studio wiz, multi-instrumentalist, veteran producer Todd Rundgren, whom the band was only somewhat familiar with. The result? An album steeped in dreamy lyrics and atmosphere that evoked the English country side and working life. It is also is a continuous body of work that takes you through a day or a lifetime, depending on your perspective. And Tony introduces an album by a band that, surprisingly, had an influence XTC's front man, Andy Partridge: The Monkees' Good Times!
