I think Guy was so much more than a producer, his music knowlege alone would have endeared him to the band. Guy set up the British Sue label in the 60's featuring a whole host of great R&B artists that both Joe and Mick loved and then his involvement with Free and Mott.

Midnight To Stevens was a serious lost gem. I can't believe it never found its way onto an album.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Eh, you could grab nearly any five random Clash songs and they'd all make some reference to drugs or drink. They'd all be great too.

XTC songs were either Partridge or Moulding and even though the other partnerships sometimes worked like that, these boys never claimed to be co-writers.

I agree, although I have no preference about either, and like most of XTC's catalogue as a whole, no matter who wrote the songs.Marky Dread wrote: ↑22 Sep 2017, 8:17amYou are correct here Dave but such brilliant writers none the less.

I only know "Ball & Chain", which is great. And there was another with Springsteen guesting that was pretty good.

I never got into them much but I did like Mike Ness' solo album.
