XTC - Spiral - video free download

Will Harris

the notes say Ralph Salmins is on drums. Andy says he does the rest, I think I hear Colin on backing vocals. And who did the horn bit?

Anyone know who drummed on this track - was it Chuck Sabo?

Dave Donovan

Thank you for sharing... one of the best songwriters of the last 25 years... :)

Great song Mr Partridge. They recorded it some years ago. It must have been done after Andy's recovery from an accident, which stopped him playing for a while (n'est pas?)I'm an XTC nut too. Been so since I was 19!

I can only DITTO Jen Murphy's comment: " I am an XTC fanatic. Why am I just now finding out about this song?" Almost like getting a new XTC present :-)

Perfectly true. Andy is a complicated, sensitive, deep man and has given his heart on a platter to us. I am exceedingly grateful.

For some reason it feels almost as if I know Andy Partridge (Somewhat) and we've never met face-to-face as of this writing, At least - Though I did ask him questions over Twitter to which he responded. Considering I've listened to a lot of XTC songs it's like I was observing a documentary of much of his life, Colin too as well as Barry and Dave and Terry.

I can see a possibility of Colin and Andy making up and getting back together, Even despite whatever it is they've been through.

I did get a 45 record with xtc spiral on the label tattooed on my left outer bicep. It's rather large. Yes I have a few other xtc tattoos as well. This is such a cool song. Wait a minute.....they're ALL COOL!

For the record, Andy is the only person playing on this track. All the vocals. All the guitars. Everything. Colin is not on this track.

Jerry Murphy

I am an XTC fanatic. Why am I just now finding out about this song ? Good Lord this is f*cking fantastic ! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get back together boys !

Luiz Bertoni

Classic XTC. The Kinks meet the Beatles and they go over to the Flamin' Groovies' house.

@InParticularNobody do agree with your comment, good to no people out there appreciation real talent.

InParticularNobody

well i do (obviously), but the bit rate, and therefore the audio quality on a purchased & downloaded track is usually vastly better. and anyway - music shouldn't be entirely free. i'd like to think of mr partidge seeing some reward for his efforts...

paulhelp8

@InParticularNobody why don't you just listen to the track on here!!

InParticularNobody

yes - the only problem being that I have to spend £38 just to get this track! I've bought the apple venus and wasp star albums (plus the demo albums too), so it's just frustrating that I can't source the track as a stand-alone download...i'll live though. Just ;-)
