Re: XTC the Dukes of Stratosphear
Been listening to a fair bit of Dukes recently. Pale And Precious is a good one - bit of a Beach Boys rip though

Re: XTC the Dukes of Stratosphear
I have all the releases.
The 2009 re-release of the original mini-album '25 O'Clock' has an additional 9 tracks including demos and unreleased.
The 2009 re-release of 'Psonic Psunspot' has an additional 6 demo versions.
Here's one of the previously unreleased tracks....

Also, when recording the Dukes stuff, they wrote a track and decided to hold it back for the official Xtc album 'Skylarking'.
It was this one...

Re: XTC the Dukes of Stratosphear
Speaking of demo stuff I forked out for the Fuzzy Warbles boxset last month, some real gems on there.

Re: XTC the Dukes of Stratosphear
Dutifully bought their albums, but never did anything for me. Why accept sincere imitations when the source bands are now readily available?
Re: XTC the Dukes of Stratosphear
Hoping that these might turn up in XTC's 5.1 remix series. Would be VERY trippy in glorious surround sound!!!
