XTC Drums And Wires 1979 Virgin Records Includes Promo 7” Excellent

Description: Drums and Wires is the third studio album by the English rock band XTC, released 17 August 1979 on Virgin Records. It is a more pop-orientated affair than the band's previous, Go 2 (1978), and was named for its emphasis on guitars ("wires") and expansive-sounding drums. The album was their first issued in the United States and their first recorded with guitarist Dave Gregory, who had replaced keyboardist Barry Andrews earlier in 1979. It features a mix of pop, art rock, new wave and punk styles with much rhythmic interplay. The original US version of the album contained a bonus 7" EP featuring these two songs, along with "Day In Day Out," which had been removed from the LP's sequence to make room for "Life Begins at the Hop".
