XTC - English Settlement - Better as a Single Album? Review & AUDIO SAMPLES. #vinylcommunity

XTC's fifth album, English Settlement, was originally released as a double album. Yet in Australia and many other countries, it came out as a single album. Which is better? Single or Double? Join me as, in this video, I argue the case for the former, give me the single every time! English Settlement was released in 1982, featuring the classic line-up of: Terry Chambers, Dave Gregory, Colin Moulding & Andy Partridge.

It's what some might call a homage to David Axelrod and Gil Evans. I would say that it's called 'At a Quarter to Six' and you can find it here:    • At A Quarter To Six by The Institute of Pop!   0:00 - The Case 'for'! 5:47 - Runaways 7:25 - Ball and Chain 9:15 - Senses Working Overtime 12:12 - Jason and The Argonauts 14:45 - Snowman 16:53 - Melt The Guns 21:00 - No Thugs in Our House 23:52 - Yacht Dance 25:38 - English Roundabout 28:02 - All of a Sudden (it's too late) 30:39 - Verdict Disclaimer: The images and audio in the thumbnail and video belong to their respective owners and I nor this channel claim any right over them.
