Hi,
According to MOJO/Record Collector XTC will release 2cd versions of some albums. Does anyone have some more info ?
Thnx

I'm not sure, but I did hear that one of them was going to be 'Oranges & Lemons'.

From the Chalkhills site (back in January this was posted):

"...Mojo mentioned expanded two-disc reissues of English Settlement, Skylarking, Oranges and Lemons, 25 O'Clock, Psonic Psunspot, and more, will be released during 2009. Colin Moulding, in his Rundgren Radio interview, also mentioned that some additional recording has been done and some previously unfinished and unreleased tracks may also see the light of day as part of this round of reissues. Let's hope they don't bungle the mastering again."

Of course we know that The Dukes remasters (although spectacular and should be held as a blueprint for ALL remasters to come) are single discs. I've also read recently that Rag and Bone Buffet will be getting the full treatment as well... it's a good year to be an XTC fan!
