Mr. Partridge [Andy Partridge]: Take Away / The Lure of Salvage (1980)

Take Away / The Lure of Salvage is a solo LP by Andy Partridge from XTC. To be fair, the Wikipedia relates that Partridge did not consider this to be a solo effort, because it consists of dub remixes of XTC tracks. The record is described as minimal, dub, and experimental. Wikipedia adds this: "Virgin rejected his request to issue it under the XTC banner as it would have counted toward their record contract." The back of the record says this:

"This used to be some XTC records. It is now a collection of tracks that have been electronically processed/shattered and layered with other sounds or lyrical pieces. All initial sound by XTC."

 I really like this record.
