XTC - Mummer - Vinyl Record 200g Import
XTC's Mummer is the Swindon band's first album recorded after Andy Partridge's decision to stop touring — a pastoral, intricately crafted record that channels the newfound freedom of the studio into songs of English countryside beauty and pop perfectionism. Released in 1983, it marks the beginning of XTC's evolution from nervous new-wave band into one of rock's greatest studio acts.
"Love on a Farmboy's Wages" is quintessential Partridge — a wry, melody-rich observation of English rural life wrapped in a deceptively simple pop arrangement. "Great Fire" delivers Colin Moulding's gift for baroque pop songwriting, "Wonderland" shimmers with delicate beauty, and "Ladybird" captures the album's pastoral charm at its most gentle. Pressed on 200-gram import vinyl for maximum warmth and detail from these meticulously arranged recordings.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
