Fossil Fuel: The XTC Singles 1977-1992 cover art

A comprehensive, two-disc retrospective chronicling the brilliant, idiosyncratic evolution of the Swindon group. The chronologically sequenced collection charts their remarkable journey from jittery, nervous post-punk outsiders to architects of highly sophisticated, pastoral psychedelic pop. It remains the absolute definitive entry point for exploring Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding's peerless songwriting.
