Comments for The Dukes of Stratosphear, Chips From The Chocolate Fireball

Really XTC,as if you need to be told.....alternative?...nah,..THIS IS POP!! haha, or Psychedelia,..or retro...

Falling neatly either side of their alter-ego's "Skylarking" album, this is the best thing XTC ever put together. The sixties never sounded so good (or had such an evil twist!)

Pure psychedelic perfection. A long-deserved reissue highlighting the songwriting talents of Sire John Johns and the Red Curtain. They could have been bigger than The Rutles, or at least Rod. Even today, it's hard to guage just what their influence might have been on Syd Barrett, John Lennon, Brian Wilson, Arthur Lee or Roger McGuinn circa 66-67. Ha, pure XTC really.

Best album there is...

... still listening as if it was the first time after more than 15 yrs now ... free in time !!! Un (2) petit bijou !
