Good to seem someone else recognize the greatness of The Big Express.
“Train Running Low on Soul Coal” from TBE, is probably my all-time favorite XTC song.
I actually have making a pilgrimage to Swindon on my Bucket List, LOL, that’s how big of an XTC fan I am.
If you haven’t seen this yet.....this is XTC, when they were still “The Helium Kids” on a local Swindon TV show.....check out the hair....LOL!

Speaking of Swindon, there is a YT video from the 80's of Andy Partridge giving a "tour" of Swindon. It is worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet. As for The Big Express, I'm not even sure that XTC would acknowledge the greatness of that album. They seem to want to keep it at arms length.
