XTC – Skylarking

This vinyl record features "Skylarking," the eighth studio album by English rock band XTC, originally released in 1986. The album was produced by Todd Rundgren, whose influence helped shape its lush, psychedelic pop rock sound. Known for its intricate arrangements and thematic cohesion, "Skylarking" includes standout tracks like "Summer's Cauldron" and "The Meeting Place." XTC’s work on this album reflects their evolution within the new wave and art rock scenes of the mid-1980s. This pressing is a new vinyl edition, still sealed in its original shrink wrap, ensuring the record remains in pristine condition.
