It is a collection of five non-album tracks. It also contains the rare (only rare because it was not a big seller) UK single "Wait Till Your Boat Goes Down". Andy Partridge gave the Canadian record company the title for this EP, and was subsequently inspired to write the song "Senses Working Overtime" shortly thereafter.All songs written by Andy Partridge, except where noted."Smokeless Zone" 3:50 (Colin Moulding)"Officer Blue" 2:40 (Moulding)"Wait Till Your Boat Goes Down" 4:21"Don't Lose Your Temper" 2:33"Strange Tales, Strange Tails" 2:18XTC were an English rock band formed in Swindon in 1972. Fronted by songwriters Andy Partridge(vocals, guitars) and Colin Moulding (vocals, bass), the band gained popularity during the rise of punk and new wave in the 1970s, later playing in a variety of styles that ranged from angular guitar riffs to elaborately arranged pop. Partly because the group did not fit into contemporary trends, they achieved only sporadic commercial success in the UK and US, but attracted a considerable cult following. They have since been recognised for their influence on post-punk, Britpop and later power pop acts.Partridge and Moulding first met in the early 1970s and subsequently formed a glam outfit with drummer Terry Chambers. The band's name and line-up changed frequently, and it was not until 1975 that the band was known as XTC. In 1977, the group debuted on Virgin Records and were subsequently noted for their energetic live performances and their refusal to play conventional punk rock, instead synthesising influences from ska, 1960s pop, dub music and avant-garde. The single "Making Plans For Nigel" (1979) marked their commercial breakthrough and heralded the reverberating drum sound associated with 1980s popular music.I personally have seen XTC twice in the late 70's and early 80's in a small venue in Chicago, they were quite an awesome live show! From my personal collection.
