    I think that’s quite the stupidest remark I’ve ever heard, 135wt. I shall be marking you down.

    Primus’ version of this tune is better than Pitchshifter’s.So there.

    Maybe the catchiest song ever!

    Hi alanlescouse1967. British Steel was already losing its edge by the 1970′s but the government of the day kept unprofitable plants open for political rather than business reasons (to avoid job losses). Keeping people in employment was more important to the 1970s governments than keeping the company competitive. With the industrialisation of the developing countries, running British Steel without closing unprofitable plants would have required ever increasing amounts of state subsidies.

    WHAT A BAND !!!!!!!

    love xtc soooooooooo much ,they are one of my fav bands!

    Primus / Les Claypool has a version of this song…
    Damn this band is so ahead of their time in everything they do. I looked up the album on Wikipedia because I was going to say that it looks like it could even be from 1993 and didn’t want to find out that it was, damn it’s from like 1979

    Started listening to XTC in 8th or 9th grade (1987). I have a been a fan since, and the older stuff is great. Too bad not more have heard of them, since they are better than an infinite# of bands since. Doing the 80s post-punk thing again now, so I would love to hear a cover of these guys from some up & coming band. I would respect them more.

    Ok… XTC were such a great band!

  13. alanlescouse1967 says:

    this song was rather prophetic in that ‘nigels future in British Steel’ was well and truly buggered up by m thatcher when she closed everything down and sols it off.
    xtc were one of the best new wave bands of their time.
