ANDY PARTRIDGE

Fuzzy Warbles Collector’s Album

(APE) Used 8xCD $125.00

Long-bootlegged and highly collectible home recordings by the XTC frontman. Outtakes, demos, in-studio hilarity, rough sketches with different lyrics, remarkably less lush than the produced official versions, dominated by Partridge’s gnashing guitar and frantic drum machine that resembles a bicycle that has to go faster and faster or the wheels will come off (with tracks from the ’90s on sounding cleaner and less agitated). Does not include the bonus ninth disc, Hinges.
