A cult classic of raw punk pop, XTC's debut album charts in the U. K. Top 30. An off-kilter homage to the confection that is pop (i. e., "white") music, the album jumps with virtually live-in-the-studio energy. Andy: "Four years' worth of songs saved up and recorded (virtually) live in one short burst. Noisy, arrogant, stark, triangular and desperate for your attention. Four young snots dismantling pop!" Originally released on 20 January 1978 in the U. K. Reached Top 20 on the U. K. album chart. Features 7 bonus tracks.
