A lush, psychedelic pop masterpiece, Skylarking captures XTC at their most ambitious and melodic. Produced by Todd Rundgren, the album explores themes of nature, love, mortality, and spirituality with orchestral finesse and lyrical wit. This 200g vinyl edition restores the full 15-track sequence—including the once-controversial “Dear God”—and corrects a long-standing polarity issue that had subtly dulled the original mix. The result is a radiant listening experience that reclaims the album’s sonic depth and emotional clarity.
