Album Notes A collection of B-sides, rarities and flexi-singles compiled by Andy Partridge. This 1990 collection, far from just filling in a hole in the three-year gap between ORANGES & LEMONS and NONSUCH, is a solid set on its own terms. Comprised of b-sides, alternate versions and other rarities that span XTC's career, it plays as a nice companion to any of their other retrospectives which feature their more obvious history (UPSY DAISY, COMPLETE XTC, WAXWORKS). There are jaggedly rocking punch-outs ("Respectable Street," "Take This Town"), pop ditties ("Happy Families," "Punch And Judy"), early Farfisa-infused new wave templates ("Looking For Footprints,"), assorted experiments ("Over Rusty Water," "Pulsing Pulsing") and even a lilting waltz ("The World is Full Of Angry Young Men").Far from being a set castoffs, RAG & BONE BUFFET shows both how furiously creative the band has been, and how carefully they've shaped each album project, even if it meant having to shelve some exemplary songs.
