Song Notes: Another XTC b-side that's really great, this one from Colin Moulding. I've often thought that there should have been a complete XTC B-sides collection, even though most of them are available on the CD issues or Rag & Bone Buffet. There ARE a few that haven't been put on anything, though, like "Ella Guru", XTC's cover of the Captain Beefheart song (though it is a relatively sub-par cover, it'd be nice to have collected). Maybe if we ask nicely, Virgin will see that as another, viable way to cash in on XTC's back catalog yet again.
