XTC - Nonsuch - CD + 5.1 / hi-res DVD-A (expanded / remixed / remastered)
SKU
23-Ape P110
Note - this isn't just a 'remaster'. Steven Wilson has gone back to the original multi-tracks and remixed them. If you want it just as you have always heard it, you won't like this, but if you want to hear parts that were very low level to the point of inaudibility before and now can actually be heard (much in the same way Steve Wilson re-did King Crimson "Lizard", Yes' "Close To The Edge" or our remix of the 1st Univers Zero), then I highly recommend this one!
"Nonsuch is the first in a series of expanded XTC album editions including 5.1 Surround mixes, new stereo mixes and High-Resolution stereo mixes of the original material.
Steven Wilson has produced the new mixes with the input of founder band member Andy Partridge and the full approval of the band.
Presented as a double digi-pack format in a slipcase with an expanded booklet and sleeve-notes by Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding and Dave Gregory, this is the cd and dvda version."
