Developed from a series of interviews conducted over many months, it explores in detail some thirty of Partridges songsincluding such wellknown singles as Senses Working Overtime and the controversial Dear Godfrom throughout XTCs thirtyyear career, as well as an extensive interview dedicated solely to the art and craft of songwriting.While the interviews cast new light on the writing of lyrics, the construction of melodies and arrangements, the process of recording, and the workings of the music industry, they are also filled with anecdotes about Partridge, his XTC bandmates, and their adventures around the world all told with the songwriters legendary humour.This fascinating book also includes pages from Partridges songwriting notebooks and reproductions of his original artwork designs; a guided tour of his hometown of Swindon; and a foreword by Steven Wilson, the guitarist, songwriter, and record producer best known as the founder and leader of Porcupine Tree.
