Additional Details: UNITED KINGDOM - IMPORT, 200 GRAM VINYL

Limited 200gm vinyl LP pressing. It's not necessarily a sound associated with XTC per se but, with the twin guitar line-up now fully settled, relentless touring schedule and thoughts of recording with Lillywhite and Padgham in the studio where the same engineer/producer combo had established that drum sound, thinking of XTC in rock band terms was the ideal approach for the multitude of songs Partridge and Moulding were individually producing. Preceded by a set of live demos at Phonogram studios, XTC knew exactly what it wanted from a fourth album - even down to the original album title: Work Under Pressure (which helps make more sense of the sleeve photo), prior to setting foot in The Townhouse for the main recordings. The switch to Black Sea was made only to allay the then band manager's sensitivity to the title being interpreted as a criticism of his management style. More power rock than power pop, when released in Sept. 1980, the album became XTC's first Top 20 chart album in the UK, narrowly missed the Top 40 (#41) in the USA where it was issued in November, but spent an impressive 24 weeks on the Billboard chart nonetheless. 'Generals And Majors' and 'Towers Of London' provided twin back to back Top 40 UK singles released either side of the album in a tight eight weeks' release space in September and October, while 'Sgt. Rock' propelled the band back into the UK top 20 in January 1981. The sense of immediacy, the rush of a band fully living up to it's potential is as apparent now as it was when the album first came out.

Amazing product!
Format: Board book
LOVE this book for my baby. The buttons are very sensitive and responds to a light touch which means that my baby can actually push the buttons with positive feedback. Wish they had more books like this! (Only thing that I would consider changing on this book is an on/off toggle for the sound)

Wonderful for all the senses!
Format: Board book
Pretty book with something for little fingers to touch on each page. As you touch it, a realistic animal sound is made! (Just be sure to remove the tag from the battery box on back.).

Fun sound book.
Format: Board book
I bought this for my house for my grandkids when they come over and this is their go to book. The sounds are very true to the animal sounds. And very minimal pushing as needed to make the noises.
