Weird personal fact about me: the very last thing I did to earn my undergraduate degree was program a computerized lighting system to do a mock-up of choreographed stage lighting for a performance of that song. It actually looked pretty good.

Bad move! That was the last piece of the puzzle I needed to steal your identity. The only question now is what do I with it.

I love the demo version of Summer's Cauldron, just lost myself in it for 6 minutes. Probably my favourite XTC song in any form...

Does anyone know if Rag and Bone Buffet is still relevant now that the deluxe editions have come out? I'm having a hard time cross-referencing and was hoping somebody owned both and is familiar enough to know offhand.

I'll check R&BB against the deluxe versions and the Fuzzy Warbles box set.

Thanks! I noticed there's a couple overlaps on Drums and Wires, but I can't see if they're the same versions or what.Marky Dread wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 6:46pmI'll check R&BB against the deluxe versions and the Fuzzy Warbles box set.

I did find this which is interesting. I think it's from back in 2010 so old news but of interest to see if this lead to the deluxe editions.Kory wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 6:51pmThanks!
