As they reckoned he had a future at British Steel you have to suspect not.

No-one can argue with that.

Indeed. They were a damn sight better than the magic roundabout.

I have more than 20 XTC singles but just realised I don't have Mayor of Simpleton.

I'll rectify that with a visit to the Discogs website.

All the singles from "Oranges And Lemons" came out as 10" Singles too Warwick! The 12" of this also has their version of Capt. Beefheart's "Ella Guru" on as the Bonus Track which is really good too.

Generals & Majors was the only single of theirs I bought I think. Good band, even if they did come from Swindon...

Great band, and hugely underated. If also a very troubled band.

Thought they were brilliant - but then went to see them at Newcastle City Hall and Partridge was p*ssed and abused the crowd all night - one of the shitiest gigs ever - still a good sound but I lost much of my affection for them that night.
