Drums And Wires has been mastered by Jason Mitchell at LOUD mastering with input from Andy Partridge and is fully approved by XTC. Swindon's finest, XTC, produced an early classic album with the Steve Lillywhite produced Drums and Wires. Andy Partridge recalls it as an optimistic time for the band. Dave Gregory's arrival on guitar marked a shift in style with the group now configured as a twin guitar\/bass\/drums line-up. Despite an endless touring schedule much time was spent honing new material. Both Partridge and Colin Moulding were growing in confidence as songwriters - this album did much to further their reputation for peerless post-punk pop tunes. But it was also Steve Lillywhite and engineer Hugh Padgham's ability to give appropriate studio support and recording expertise to the more expansive pieces such as \"Roads Girdle The Globe\" and \"Complicated Game\" that helped to bring a new level of maturity to the overall feel of the release. Issued at the start of September, Drums and Wires entered the UK Albums Chart where it remained for a total of seven weeks, accompanied by another first for the band, a Top 20 UK (and international) hit single in album lead track \"Making Plans for Nigel\". The optimism of the recording sessions had proved justified. No longer with bonus 7 inch single.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking Plans for Nigel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Helicopter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Day in Day Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When You're Near Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Have Difficulty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ten Feet Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Roads Girdle the Globe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Real By Reel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Millions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e That Is the Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Outside World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Scissor Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Complicated Game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chain of Command\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Limelight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Ape House Uk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57416285389135,"sku":"633367792815","price":5.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/3863514-2608344.jpg?v=1775558587","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/xtc-drums-wires-200gm-vinyl","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
