Description:

Skylarking by Xtc, released 14 April 2014, includes the following tracks: "The Meeting Place", "Ballet For A Rainy Day", "Season Cycle", "Big Day" and more. This version of Skylarking comes as a 1xCD. - CORRECTED POLARITY EDITION

Digitally remastered, expanded and corrected edition of the British band's 1986 album. Some 28 years after it's initial recording and release, SKYLARKING finally appears on CD as it was originally intended to sound. Andy Partridge - never entirely happy with the overall sound of the finished album - took it to award-winning mastering engineer John Dent, who noticed something that had never previously been spotted. Somewhere, possibly in the transfer from the multi-channel tape to the stereo master, a polarity had been reversed. This is not the same thing as a reversed left/right channel which puts a stereo picture out of phase and makes the sound unlistenable, but a much more difficult to pin down event that can be triggered by something as simple as a badly wired plug in the overall system which, nonetheless, removes some of the punch and presence from a finished recording. The album's cover and track listing have reverted to the band's original vision, making this the ultimate edition of one of the band's most popular albums.

"Skylarking (Corrected Polarity Edition)" is a remastered version of XTC's iconic 1986 album, presented here on CD by Rykodisc. This edition features the corrected polarity as intended by the band, offering enhanced audio clarity and depth for both longtime fans and new listeners. "Skylarking" is celebrated for its lush arrangements and seamless flow between tracks, including classics like "Grass," "Dear God," and "The Meeting Place." The album stands out as one of XTC?s most ambitious works, blending pop sensibilities with psychedelic influences to create an enduring masterpiece. XTC, formed in Swindon in the 1970s, are renowned for their inventive songwriting and have influenced countless artists across genres; albums such as "English Settlement" and singles like "Senses Working Overtime" cemented their place in music history. Rykodisc is known for high-quality reissues that respect original recordings while enhancing listening experiences through meticulous remastering.
