Home / Punk & New Wave / Skylarking
A sunny, Todd Rundgren-produced song-cycle of pastoral English pop. Tuneful and clever. Their most beloved record. Not the first record to reach for, but well worth reaching for.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes.
