Home / Punk & New Wave / Drums and Wires
A sharp, angular new-wave peak, home to 'Making Plans for Nigel'. Inventive and tuneful. A breakthrough. Released in 1979, it's an early landmark for XTC.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
