Skylarking CD+blu-ray audio

1986 album • CD+blu-ray

Skylarking is the fourth in a series of remixed & expanded XTC classic albums.

For many music fans, this is the XTC classic album, the one there was most demand for in remixed & 5.1 surround & one of those for which the tapes, until recently, were thought lost.

The album has been mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound from the original multi-track studio master tapes by Steven Wilson with input from Andy Partridge & is fully approved by XTC.

Presented in special packaging with expanded booklet & sleeve-notes by Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding & Dave Gregory.
