1 LP – UK Import – remastered – 200 Gram vinyl
Released in 1984, XTC’s seventh album, “The Big Express” was virtually ignored on release, much as its immediate predecessor “Mummer” had been. If “Mummer” was XTC’s quiet album, this was its polar opposite: bright, brash, noisy – even cluttered on occasion if the song demanded it – as it became a concept album of sorts, a partly autobiographical reflection on growing up in an industrial town, Swindon, with its history of engineering and railway accomplishments.
Of course the songs were as good as on any other XTC album – a very high standard indeed – but they went largely unheard. Given that position, it would be easy to conclude that the timing was wrong for the album. But the best musicians follow the music and allow the times to catch up with that; precisely what happened when XTC released its next album “Skylarking” in 1986. “The Big Express” is now regarded as a “neglected classic” of its era. Newly remastered and cut and presented on 200g vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.
