1985 saw the now somewhat legendary release of the '25 O'Clock' mini-album by the Dukes which found an unexpected fan base among the likes of the embryonic Stone Roses and ultimately led to John Leckie's own stratospheric rise as the go-to producer of the 90s. #xtcweek #xtcfortnight

I think it's time for a new eternal jam!

I know I didn't stick to the 5 day or 2 day rule...but got Dukes of Stratosphere stuck in my mind and wanted to share (FYI - this is XTC doing covers in their own way - the whole album is amazing:) Enjoy some psychedelia covers done with XTC originality (ie... can you guess who they are covering?) Love their sense of humor:)

The Stone Roses don't sound quite as original now..
A mixture of George Orwell, The Beatles, Superman and a Smarties advert, The Dukes Of Stratosphear are slowly proving to be one of my favourite, not-technically-existing bands ever!!!!

From XTC's #psychedelic pseudonym comes a 1985 masterpiece of pop psychedelia.
