XTC - Wasp Star - Apple Venus Volume 2 - Vinyl Record LP 200g Import
XTC's Wasp Star (Apple Venus Volume 2) is the muscular, guitar-driven companion to the orchestral Apple Venus Volume 1 — and the final studio album from one of Britain's most inventive and underrated bands. Released in 2000, it finds Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding channeling their pop genius into songs that are tighter, louder, and more immediate than anything they'd made in years.
"The Wheel and the Maypole" and "Playground" deliver classic XTC — intricate melodies wrapped in crunchy guitars and Partridge's unmistakable vocal wit — while "I'm the Man Who Murdered Love" is pure power-pop perfection. This 200-gram single LP edition, mastered by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering from tapes approved by Andy Partridge, is the definitive vinyl pressing. A fitting final chapter for one of pop music's greatest catalogs.

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.
