XTC took full advantage of their studio-bound status with The Big Express, creating their most painstakingly detailed, multi-layered, sonically dynamic album to date. The more upbeat material and brighter sound recall some of the band's earlier moments, but most of all, The Big Express signals a turning point for the band, setting the blueprint for their later approach -- a combination of studio perfection matched with impeccable songcraft that results in a thoroughly consistent and enjoyable album beginning to end. Skylarking, the album that followed, gets much more glory, and certainly its impact was greater (this one was virtually ignored), but really, The Big Express covers much of the same territory and is just as strong an album in many ways.

The record looks barely played and grades NM.

The round lyric insert has grades NM.

The round die-cut sleeve has hardly any wear and grades NM

The backing card has the very lightest of wear and grades EX.

If you have any questions,please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks for looking.
