Description:

Much sought after classic XTC albums reissued on vinyl Pressed on superior 200gram vinyl Song lyrics sheet included First single LP edition of Wasp Star -

Reissue of the digitally remastered edition of this album by the British pop-punk/alt-rock outfit. Apple Venus Volume 1 was the thirteenth studio album by XTC, released in 1999. The album was the first time the band had released anything since going "on strike" in 1992 against their label Virgin Records. Originally Apple Venus Volume 1 was supposed to be a double album but Partridge and Moulding were convinced to break the album up into two with the orchestral material on Apple Venus Volume 1 and the other material released on Wasp Star. The material for both albums was largely written in the aftermath of Nonsuch. While Partridge continued to write new material, all of Colin Moulding's material were older songs that were submitted for earlier projects and rejected. Apple Venus Volume 1 was the last XTC album to include Dave Gregory as a member of the band. He departed during the recording sessions.

"Apple Venus (Vol.1)" is a remarkable album by the legendary British band XTC, released in 1999 and now available in CD format from Panegyric. This record marks a significant chapter in XTC's illustrious career, showcasing their evolution towards lush orchestration and sophisticated songwriting after years of innovative pop-rock experimentation. "Apple Venus (Vol.1)" features intricate arrangements, poetic lyrics, and an ambitious blend of acoustic textures with orchestral elements?highlighted on tracks like "Easter Theatre" and "River of Orchids." The album received critical acclaim for its artistic depth and stands as one of the band's most celebrated works. XTC, formed in Swindon in the 1970s by Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding, are renowned for their inventive approach to new wave and alternative rock music. Over decades, they have produced classic albums such as "Skylarking," "English Settlement," and "Drums & Wires," earning them a devoted global following despite rarely performing live after 1982 due to Partridge?s stage fright. Panegyric is known for producing high-quality reissues that pay meticulous attention to audio fidelity and packaging details. Their releases often include remastered soundtracks overseen by original artists or respected producers, making them highly sought-after among audiophiles and collectors alike.
