Interesting choice

Yes, interesting choice

I've always felt Ghosts is an underrated. In my eyes it's the most complete strawbs album, the other albums all have one or two clunkers.

[trans-chigley express]

XTC - Nonsuch

The recent Steven Wilson remix of this album has really pushed it up the ranking for me. It's very close to becoming my favourite these days.
