Featuring Pat Mastelotto on drums, 1989's Oranges And Lemons is one of XTC's most vibrant and optimistic albums. A wonderful collection of songs that culminates in one of Andy Partridge's finest ever compositions, Chalkhills And Children.
 
Unfortunately the Sony engineers have been unable to resolve the firmware issue with this particular bluray disc. PS3, XBOX ONE and one or two other players from the same generation are affected. PS4 is not affected and plays the disc perfectly.
