Post Description

Oranges & Lemons is the eleventh studio album by the English band XTC, released in 1989. The name of the album may have been taken from the lyrics to Skylarking's "Ballet for a Rainy Day," which in turn may have come from the old English nursery rhyme:


Orange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble
Together, just like fruit tipped from a tray

The band was sent to Los Angeles to record the album, and Paul Fox was retained to produce it. The album was lushly produced with multiple overdubs on almost every track, yielding the psychedelic feel.
