One of the gems of the post-punk era, replete with the sort of musical diversity that would have been unimaginable two years earlier, Swindon's finest, XTC, produced an early classic album with their third release, the Steve Lillywhite produced Drums and Wires. Andy Partridge recalls it as an optimistic time for the band. Dave Gregory's arrival on guitar (replacing organist Barry Andrews who left following the release of Go2) marked a shift in style with the group now configured as a twin guitar\/bass\/drums line-up. Despite an endless touring schedule much time was spent honing new material. Both Partridge \u0026amp; Colin Moulding were growing in confidence as songwriters - this album did much to further their reputation for peerless post-punk pop tunes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut it was also Steve Lillywhite \u0026amp; engineer Hugh Padgham's ability to give appropriate studio support \u0026amp; recording expertise to the more expansive pieces such as \"Roads Girdle The Globe\" \u0026amp; \"Complicated Game\" that helped to bring a new level of maturity to the overall feel of the release. Issued at the start of September, Drums and Wires entered the UK Albums Chart where it remained for a total of seven weeks, accompanied by another first for the band, a Top 20 UK (\u0026amp; international) hit single in album lead track \"Making Plans for Nigel\". The optimism of the recording sessions had proved justified. This edition presents Steven Wilson's 2014 mix (with minor revisions) on high grade 200 gram vinyl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Making Plans for Nigel\u003cbr\u003e2 Helicopter\u003cbr\u003e3 Day in Day Out\u003cbr\u003e4 When You're Near Me I Have Difficulty\u003cbr\u003e5 Ten Feet Tall\u003cbr\u003e6 Roads Girdle the Globe\u003cbr\u003e7 Real By Reel\u003cbr\u003e8 Millions\u003cbr\u003e9 That Is the Way\u003cbr\u003e10 Outside World\u003cbr\u003e11 Scissor Man\u003cbr\u003e12 Complicated Game\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ape House UK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53448053293395,"sku":"APEH6779801.1","price":4.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8983\/3555\/files\/drums.jpg?v=1775813979","url":"https:\/\/vinylrecordcrate.com\/products\/xtc-drums-wires-steven-wilson-mix-200gm-vinyl-633367798015","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
