Xtc skylarking vinyl reissue.

The greatest achievement of xtc s post drums and wires career skylarking is a must have for the first days of spring.
Produced by todd rundgren the album was famously the most troublesome recording experience of xt.
I have the original cd of skylarking the mobile fidelity gold cd and this newly remastered edition.
It has been mastered by jason mitchell at loud mastering with input from andy partridge and is fully approved by xtc.
In the course of world renowned mastering engineer john dents work on preparing the new double vinyl set of xtc s skylarking for release an interesting and wonderful thing has been discovered.
The bass in particular is revelatory.
A deluxe double vinyl version of the corrected polarity edition xtc s ever popular todd rundgren produced skylarking.

This is by far and away the best of them all.
This deluxe remastered version of the album contains a bonus track mermaid smiled.
The album which features the singles the disappointed the ballad of peter pumpkinhead and is the ninth in a series of xtc classics to be issued on a 200g vinyl edition.
Back in the summer of 2010 andy partridge announced that xtc s 1986 album skylarking was being reissued later that year as it was intended to sound but never has due to human error a new double vinyl pressing that corrected the polarity that had been reversed on all prior releases of the album resulting in a thinner sound that was light on bass.
The new edition restores skylarking s gutted mid tones and brings a new level of clarity to its entire soundscape.

Background vocals and crispness of the drums are the most noticable improvements as far as song quality this is the true gem in xtc s catalog todd rundgren has never produced a bad album for another group that was not his own and this is probably.
