'Oranges & Lemons' by XTC: Classic or Dud

Saw this in an unsorted box of donations, amongst other choice selections. I thought it was a really unique package and I, of course, had never seen a copy of the album in this format before.

For those who like the tinny, clangorous sound of the CD mastering, but miss the inconvenience of having to get up every 15 minutes to flip the vinyl.

How was the condition? I've never seen one of these that wasn't pretty trashed.

Yeah, I've got the King For A Day 3" CD in the mini crown and that was hard to get home without a bent corner!

I've got one of those, it's in decent nick as I kept it in a safe space, and I wasn't that taken with the album in general at the time.

There's a couple on EBay right now in decent nick for around £25 (starting bid)

This one I came across at work was in pretty decent shape, considering it was basically tossed randomly into a bag with standard jewel cases.

Just thought I'd mention..

The Blu-ray edition is back in stock at Burning Shed for £15 approx, after having been out of stock for ages (and being £80+ on discogs/eBay/etc)

In fact, they 'all' are, including the Dukes of Stratosphear set.

(Not including the ones they've not done yet obv)

Ooh

As I discussed on [XTC media] very recently, the album sounds to me as though its been played on pipes (a la the Windows screensaver) except made of glass, and coloured in different ways. That's what I hear where some other people hear stuffy late 80sness.
