Optimisms Flames is ever so grateful to Shigemasa Fujimoto for compiling this discography and is especially thankful to Andy Partridge for allowing us to share information with the multi colored plectra coated Idea Records website.
Shigemasa
Fujimoto would like to thank all those who have purchased his Wonderland XTC
Discography and who have given him information over the years. Special
thanks must go to: Wes Long for adopting the
discography for this fab website; Dave Gregory
for his continuous encouragement and supply of invaluable information; Holger
Loeschner and Takeshi Matsuoka for patiently answering SF's persistent queries; and June and
Peter Dix for the spirit of fanzinedom.
To be published sometime this year is a fully-loaded book version of Wonderland: XTC Discography + Chronology, which will feature many illustrations, tour dates, "what they said," and godknowswhatelse. Keep your fingers crossed!
All release dates are in the order of day/month/year.
An "obi" (meaning "belt") is a paper strip that used to come wrapped around a Japanese 12" record cover. Although the paper cover attached to the spine of a Japanese CD case is not an obi in the strictest sense, the term is still used to describe it.
In the track
listings, information in square brackets, such as [edit] and [long version],
was provided by the discography compiler. Information in round brackets, as in
(live), (LP Version), and (Home Demo), was taken from covers, labels, etc.
The playing time of each track presented here is not always the same as that printed on covers, labels, etc.
All songs were written by Andy Partridge, *Colin Moulding, and **Barry Andrews, with the exceptions of "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan and "Ella Guru" by Don Van Vliet.
