XTC
Oranges And Lemons
2020 UK 2xLP reissue

Last few spins before I head to Boston for a week, so I’m going for a few I haven’t heard in a while, starting with this one.

Oranges And Lemons reminds me of something I’ve wanted to ask for a while, but keep forgetting.

It is the second instalment in what might be my favorite 3-album stretch by anybody ever.

The run of Oranges And Lemons bookended by Skylarking and Nonsuch is so astonishing, that it’s quite remarkable.

For me personally, the only other run I can hold in the same regard is Radiohead’s stretch from The Bends to Kid A, The Cure’s from Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me to Wish, or the first three Sabbath albums.
Maybe other than Radiohead, I’d have to put the rest under the XTC stretch.

This was the 2nd XTC album I bought with my own $, & like Nonsuch, the first 3 songs are total master classes in pop songwriting.
