XTC � Live at Emerald City, Cherry Hill New Jersey, 17th April 1981
 
Listening to this electric performance from April 1981 � for all of its sonic imperfections seems to confirm that status,
making it even harder to accept that, within a year, XTC would play its final gigs.
XTC at that time was a performing machine capable of creating megawatts of excitement.
Andy Partridge comments that �we were tighter than a firefly's fundament that night, even more astounding was the
adrenaline-soaked speed we took every song at�.
Released exclusively via Record Store Day, this 200-gram heavyweight (double) LP is the first time the concert will be
officially available on vinyl and is also the first of a planned series of XTC official bootleg releases titled �Live Boots�
& drawn from the band�s archives with minimal audio restoration undertaken by cutting engineer Jason Mitchell working with Andy Partrdige.
