Album Notes TRANSISTOR BLAST is culled from sessions recorded at BBC Studios, London, England between 1977 and 1989 as well as a live concert at The Hammersmith Palais on December 22, 1980.XTC includes: Andy Partridge, Dave Gregory, Colin Moulding.Includes liner notes by Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding.This four-disc set is a treat in every regard, pulling together selections recorded for the BBC-some in the studio, some in concert. TRANSISTOR BLAST makes a compelling case for what a strong live act XTC was before it retreated from the stage (around the time of the release of the ENGLISH SETTLEMENT album). The set also shows the band to be vibrant in the time subsequent to its retirement from live performance.Live-in-the-studio versions of songs such as "Scarecrow People," "Poor Skeleton Steps Out," and "The Meeting Place" show XTC at their peak, albeit sans audience. Two discs are devoted to concert performances from 1978 to 1980, while the other two are culled from studio sessions during the '80s. The beautifully packaged TRANSISTOR BLAST is an effective entry point for anyone unfamiliar with the output of XTC as well as an essential title for any already established fan.
