Science Friction was a top tune then (still is, in my opinion) and their album "Drums and Wires" combined many styles including Pop, Punk, New Wave & Dub...
The 7" single given away free with this LP included psychedelic influences all mashed up with truly manic keyboards / piano (as did the LP as a whole)
a classic album IMHO at the time (1979)... and still to this day.
Anyone share a taste for "XTC/Dukes Of Stratosphear"
Science Friction, Statue Of Liberty, This Is Pop, Living Through Another Cuba, Sgt Rock or 25 o.Clock ??? Burn e 77

Good call Sir!
You are a man of impeccable taste
Thanks fella, hope all is cool in those cumulus clouds of yours, Mr Presley Sir. Burn e 77
Love the first three albums and even bits of Black Sea - got the 12" SF E.P. and most of their 7"s - last single I bought was double 7" Generals & Majors.
Didn't take to their latter releases.
Allow me to re-arrange your face, sometimes I'd really like to get to know you better
Loved their later releases. Apple Venus Volume 1 is one of my fave albums and is up there with the best of XTC's repertoire.

Oh the bliss, oh the pleasure caressing your ears.

Hi "Mully", the first three albums were indeed great, thought the track off Black Sea "Living Through Another Cuba" was a good tune too. Burn e 77
PS. did you ever manage to get the "Science Friction 3D EP", as a 7" single?

The UK 7" version is supposedly worth thousands in mint with the sleeve but you can apparently get the Australian coloured vinyl 7" version for £150. Strange considering there were actually less of the Australian version pressed. Record collecting makes no sense.
