XTC: Ten Feet Tall
Here’s a quick post. Mostly due to the limited information out there on this release. But I thought the simplicity and humor was quite interesting. I can just imagine this being a smart ass response from the designer as to what the cover should be and someone though they were serious.
The previous XTC release Go 2 was an interesting cover that poked fun at the art of album covers. This cover is just a simple visual pun. In fact the majority of the XTC covers are quite fun.
This was a US only single (their first) released from XTC’s “Drum and Wires” album.
If anyone has info on the designers behind this I’d be very grateful.

I’m not sure that it was US only release, I bought a copy in England when it was released, not an import.
