One of the gems of the post-punk era, replete with the sort of musical diversity that would have been unimaginable two years earlier, Swindon's finest, XTC, produced an early classic album with their third release, the Steve Lillywhite produced Drums and Wires. Andy Partridge recalls it as an optimistic time for the band. Dave Gregory's arrival on guitar (replacing organist Barry Andrews who left following the release of Go2) 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 \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; engineer Hugh Padgham's ability to give appropriate studio support \u0026amp; recording expertise to the more expansive pieces such as \"Roads Girdle The Globe\" \u0026amp; \"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 (\u0026amp; international) hit single in album lead track \"Making Plans for Nigel\". The optimism of the recording sessions had proved justified. This edition presents Steven Wilson's 2014 mix (with minor revisions) on high grade 200 gram vinyl.\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 I 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\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 633367798015 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New Vinyl \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Ape House Uk \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 9.26.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online 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","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43399841054810,"sku":"633367798015","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/6107\/2986\/files\/4447964-3427871.jpg?v=1779334776","url":"https:\/\/qbrxip-ki.myshopify.com\/products\/xtc-drums-wires-steven-wilson-mix-200gm-vinyl","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
