I read they had toyed with doing a pre-psychedelic version called the Mersey Dukes and an early 70s glam version called The Stratosphear Band. Alas, we can only wonder :(
@blackshatner That's interesting, not heard that before. I know XTC had considered creating a fake glam rock band called The Helium Kidz but it never came to anything.

Superb. I love XTC and have got 12 of their albums, but I have none of their Dukes of Stratosphear stuff. I need to rectify this very soon.
