Grandes Capas: Go 2 - XTC (a outra face)

This is the back of a RECORD COVER. Catalogue No. V2108.
This writing is the DESIGN on the back of the cover. This
design is not like that on the FRONT. Its aim is to impart
information about the RECORD and the GATEFOLD INSERT within
rather than trying to sell it by being impactful or clever
or any of those things. We have kept it in the same style
so that the entire package has a sense of IDENTITY which-
ever way you see it. The record is by XTC. This is their
second album. We won't attempt to describe their music
because all you have to do is play it and you can describe
it for yourself. XTC is made up of Andy Partridge, Barry
Andrews, Colin Moulding and Terry Chambers. We have shown
photos of them below because this is regarded as commer-
cially sensible and helpful in creating their image. And
if you're curious at all you might find it interesting to
see what the musicians actually look like. And there are
more pictures and words on the very colourful insert
which you can only see if you buy the whole thing.

Many people think it helpful and useful to know some details
about the songs on the record in side, so here they are:-
1. Meccanik Dancing (Oh We Go!) 2. Battery Brides (Andy
Paints Brian) 3. Buzzcity Talki ng 4. Crowded Room 5. The
Rhythm 6. Red 7. Beatown 8. Li fe is Good in the Greenhouse
9. Jumping in Gomorrah 10. My Weapon 11. Super-Tuff
12. I am the Audience. You m ay also be interested to know that
the record was produced and Engineered by John Leckie with
assistant engineers Haydn Be ndall and Pete James at Abbey Road,
also, Andy Llewelyn and Jess Sutcliffe at Matrix and that Barry's
Roots photos were by Dave Eagle. We have to repeat the catalogue
number on the insert for bureaucratic reasons and here it is V2108.

Lastly we would like to make it clear that this is a
product of Virgin Records Limited, partly because they
wanted us to and partly because it is a legal necessity.
