XTC - Ball And Chain

XTC
Ball And Chain
Virgin VS 482-12
95p



As a product of the PMH I couldn't really not buy this, and even more so for the sleeve and the memories evoked. The three houses - very close to where my Nan lived - were the last ones left standing on Westcott Street, Swindon as the resident of the middle dwelling dug his heels in and refused to move while all surrounding buildings were knocked down pending re-development. Somehow this was all resolved sometime in the early/mid-80s. If they'd remained the demolished streets would probably now have conservation status.
