    I got ‘Chips from the chocolate fireball’ 17 years ago as a teenager and still play it all the time-brilliant,prefer it to much of XTC’s stuff.

    This was the aim, their other work sounds nothing like this. You should look up one of their more famous songs like ‘Making Plans For Nigel’ to see them in a different light.

    Actually, this song was intended as a tribute to the Beatles psychedelic period. In fact, the whole “25 O’Clock” album by The Dukes was intended as a tribute to the various psychedelic English bands of the late 60’s – Pink Floyd, The Move, etc.

    These guys wish they were the Beatles. They are clearly trying ti emulate them. The lead singer is deliberately trying to mimic Paul McCartney’s voice.

    I love the song though. We need more of this.

    Sounds a bit like ‘Stone enge’(tap) mixed with I am a walrus.

    umm, once saw that one too, (incredible stunts for early film) believe it was an early German anti-regimentationist film?

    Their manager was called ‘Mitch Mengele’

    After 25 Years, this is still so listenable and refreshing. Timeless as the infinite possibilities of never reaching 25 O’Clock.

    I love trippy music and this is no exception. Very impressive stuff. The Beatles in their psychedelic heyday could not pull it off better than this. Wonder what the reaction that the remaining Beatles had to this.

    there’s an early 1920s experimental film they’re clearly giving a nod to in the end with the backwards floating bowler hats. I wish I could remember the name. :)

    I bought the record in 1985 and it´s still one of the best psychedelic records I know at all! They were the first ones who did that then.

    could be the best music video ever made

    This is incredible! I bought the original record back in 1985 purely because the cover sleeve was so mind-blowing, and the music inside was equally so. I had no idea that it was XTC.

    But this is the first time I’ve seen the video and it’s amazing — totally the spirit of ‘67! Thanks for posting.

    Just bloody brilliant all the way through! Nice resolution and sound too! It’s nice Andy & Colin didn’t get sued for plagiarism – it’s a testament to the artfulness of their tributes to the 60s psych greats.
