Following a triptych of seminal records (‘Drums And Wires’, ‘Black Sea’, ‘English Settlement’) XTC released their sixth studio album ‘Mummer’ in 1983. Coinciding with the group’s decision to become a solely studio-based endeavour - which is why this is the last XTC album to feature drummer Terry Chambers - ‘Mummer’ personified a more experimental, diverse approach, but one that unfortunately met with declining popularity. Features the UK Top Fifty single ‘Love On A Farmboy’s Wages’.
