First time the 2016 Steven Wilson mix of Skylarking will be released on 200 gram vinyl
Presented in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics appearing in the inner gatefold
Cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering
Skylarking: XTC''''s most commercially successful album was, for many years, also its most mythical with tales of
'lost' multi-track tapes (sadly true of other XTC albums but not this one), a song originally dropped from the
album only to be replaced when it inadvertently became a hit single in the USA, a perfect match, on paper,
between the ideal Britpop band a decade before the term was invented & an Anglophile super-producer that turned
rather imperfect in personality terms but still resulted in a classic album.
Still, a masterpiece remains a masterpiece however traumatic its origins & this is one of those few albums that
sounded great at the time & sounds just as great, if not better, now.
When Steven Wilson remixed the album in 2016 ' for new stereo & 5.1 Surround Sound editions on CD/Blu-ray,
the release was successful again with both original & a new generation of fans. However, this remix was never
released on vinyl.
Frequently requested as a vinyl release in recent years & with the new CD/Blu-ray release this Autumn in Dolby
Atmos (remixed again by Steven Wilson), the timing is ideal for Ape House to make the 2016 mix available on
200-gram vinyl the first of Steven''''s XTC mixes to be issued on vinyl.
