25 O'Clock is the debut record by English rock band  and the eighth studio album by , released on  1985 through . It was publicised as a long-lost collection of recordings by a late 1960s group, but actually consisted of new tracks recorded by , , and  of  with Gregory's brother Ian.

The project was conceived by Partridge as a one-off excursion into 1960s-style . Three rules were set during its recording: songs must follow the conventions of 1967 and 1968 psychedelia, no more than two takes allowed, and use vintage equipment wherever possible. Virgin gave the group £5,000 and a two-week deadline for the sessions, in which the members adopted pseudonyms and dressed themselves in clothing of the era. Only six tracks were recorded due to time constraints.

Upon its release in the UK, 25 O'Clock sold twice as many copies as XTC's then-latest album  (1984), even before the Dukes' identity was made public. One single was issued, "The Mole in the Ministry", which was an improvised-in-the-studio  pastiche. 25 O'Clock was followed up in 1987 with the LP , which contained the outtake "Have You Seen Jackie?". Another outtake, "Big Day", was reworked for XTC's 1986 album g.
