Description:
XTC – The Big Express (SCARCE Australian pressed 12” Vinyl LP housed in Wheel-shaped sleeve/cover and Inner Sleeve printed in UK thru Virgin – V 2325)\ The Big Express is the seventh studio album by English rock band XTC, released on 15 October 1984 by Virgin Records. It is an autobiographical concept album inspired by the band's hometown of Swindon and its railway system, the Swindon Works. In comparison to its predecessor Mummer (1983), which had a modest, pastoral approach to production, the album features a bright, uptempo sound marked by studio experimentation and denser arrangements, setting a template that they would develop on subsequent albums. LP, Die-cut jacket and inner sleeve in excellent condition.
