XTC Reel by Real: XTC: Jules Verne's Sketchbook

The Album The Songs Discographical Info

Jules Verne's Sketchbook

Andy Partridge's Home Demo Recordings of Un-released XTC material from 82-86. Volume 1.

Andy: “These songs were recorded on a four track cassette machine in the spare bedroom or attic using guitars, keyboards, drum machines and voices, with the odd tambourine or saxophone thrown in. I won't apologise for the rough quality of these pieces as originally they were intended only to be heard by the band and record company. I hope you'll forgive their subterranean naïvety.”

Originally released in November 1987 in Canada by the Official North American XTC fanclub.
