add to wish list

eil has just offered a two-sided 8” acetate of the withdrawn 1992 XTC single “Wrapped in Grey” which includes the demo version of “Bungalow”. This was to be their last single for Virgin Records. Virgin released 2000 CD singles to the marketplace only to hastily recall (most of) them, which was the last straw for Andy Partridge—the group then went on its storied 7-year strike.

I don’t pretend to be in the position to be able to afford things like this but I value being surprised from time to time; doubtless few ever expected an acetate like this to turn up.
