XTC - Apple Venus: Volume 1 (LP)

Add to Cart

Following seven years of enforced silence due to contractual disputes with Virgin Records, XTC returned in 1999 with their own label (Idea) and an album which many fans consider to be the band's finest recording: Apple Venus: Volume I. A stunning selection of songs, mostly acoustic and enhanced by subtle orchestral arrangements, it was in some ways different to what anyone might have expected from the band, yet in hindsight was logical progression and culmination of musical ideas signposted via songs such as Chalkhills & Children and Wrapped in Grey.
