Hey Jim,
I have the Coat of many cupboards box and really like
it as a sort of collectors release but find that when
I want to listen to XTC I generally put a studio album
on. Its a nice thing to own but I'm glad I didn't
have to meet the £60 UK price tag!
Details of track listing can be found here:

All the best
Russ
