Swindon Works – XTC 1978

by Mark Fisher | Posted on

Delighted to have received my copy of Swindon Works – XTC 1978 by Jill Furmanovsky courtesy of Hanging Around Books. Lots of candid backstage pictures of XTC and Talking Heads as well as posed hot-house shots and live images from a band on the way up.

The rare and previously unseen images of Barry Andrews-era XTC were taken on tour and fooling around in Germany in January 1978 and from a session that took place at Kew Gardens in London later that same year.

Limited edition of 250 copies. Order from Hanging Around Books.
