{"product_id":"xtc-skylarking-lp","title":"Xtc - Skylarking (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough borne out of frustrating circumstances, SKYLARKING proved, upon its 1986 release, to be XTC's biggest seller. Attention was spurred along by \"Dear God,\" which was originally issued only as a B-side and not even included on the album. Subsequent pressings quickly substituted the song (removing \"Mermaid Smiled,\" which resurfaced on RAG \u0026amp; BONE BUFFET). At the time, Andy Partridge was extremely vocal about the band's dissatisfaction in working with producer Todd Rundgren. Intervening years have softened the memory of personal clashes and he now also embraces this as one of their finest hours (as had been the case with most of their fans all along). With hooks galore (\"That's Really Super, Supergirl,\" \"Season Cycle\"), lush orchestrations (\"1000 Umbrellas\"), acoustic reveries (\"Grass,\" \"Sacrificial Bonfire\"), and even some big fat electric guitars and drums (\"Earn Enough For Us\"), this is a perfect starting point for anyone unfamiliar with the fine XTC catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXTC: \u003c\/strong\u003eAndy Partridge (vocals, guitar); Dave Gregory (vocals, guitar, piano, Chamberlin, synthesizer); Colin Moulding (vocals, bass).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop, Alternative\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Summer's Cauldron\u003cbr\u003e2 Grass\u003cbr\u003e3 The Meeting Place\u003cbr\u003e4 That's Really Super, Supergirl\u003cbr\u003e5 Ballet for a Rainy Day\u003cbr\u003e6 1000 Umbrellas\u003cbr\u003e7 Season Cycle\u003cbr\u003e8 Earn Enough for Us\u003cbr\u003e9 Big Day\u003cbr\u003e10 Another Satellite\u003cbr\u003e11 Mermaid Smiled\u003cbr\u003e12 The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul\u003cbr\u003e13 Dear God\u003cbr\u003e14 Dying\u003cbr\u003e15 Sacrificial Bonfire\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097815494915,"sku":"FR0LN6-25R6-00","price":28.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/xtc-skylarking-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
