Originally released in 1982, English Settlement stands as XTC's fifth studio album and their first double album — a landmark record that marked a pivotal shift in the band's sound. Leaning into acoustic guitar, 12-string electric guitar, and fretless bass, the album introduced the pastoral, melodic sensibility that would define XTC's celebrated later work.
This pressing is a true collector's item, cut directly from the original half-inch master tapes by engineer John Dent and personally approved by XTC's Andy Partridge. Pressed on 200g super-heavyweight vinyl in the EU, this release delivers an authoritative listening experience that honors the depth and warmth of the original recordings.
