XTC – White Music (Remastered – Repress) – LP – 200g Vinyl

LP – Super Heavyweight 200g Black Vinyl. Newly cut from masters by Jason Mitchell at LOUD mastering and approved by Andy Partridge.

The spiky debut album from XTC from 1978 is full of spasmodic rhythms, scuffed guitars, stuttering bass lines and spontaneous blurts of crocheting keyboards. It was both inventive and energetic and along with Wire and Talking Heads the essential art punk albums to own.

White Music neatly encapsulates the frenetic nature of the post-punk/new wave period, a time when bands such as XTC could issue two singles and two albums in under twelve months while maintaining a full schedule of gigs reached in poor transport, frequently followed by poorer accommodation and along with all of the accompanying press and promo requirements, all in order to build an audience.

Newly cut from masters by Jason Mitchell at LOUD mastering and approved by Andy Partridge. Pressed on 200gram super-heavyweight vinyl at Vinyl Factory UK.
