It was a top 30 album in the UK (#28) and Top 100 album in the USA (#97), where it also made it to #1 in the, then significant, College album chart. It was also Grammy nominated in the 'Alternative albums' category in 1992. The album was recorded at Chipping Norton studios in 1991 and initially produced by Gus Dudgeon - best known for his work with Elton John - when the team of Steve Lillywhite and Hugh Padgham proved unavailable. Disappointed with the final mixes, the band moved to Rockfield Studios where the album was successfully completed by Nick Davis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the slow burn success of the 1986 album \u003cem\u003eSkylarking\u003c\/em\u003e, 1989's \u003cem\u003eOranges \u0026amp; Lemons\u003c\/em\u003e had proved successful in the UK and US charts, so there was a general expectation that \u003cem\u003eNonsuch\u003c\/em\u003e would take the band to the next level of mainstream success, especially when early critical response proved encouraging. 'The Disappointed' duly entered the Top 40 in the UK and 'The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead' was prepared as the follow-up. A third planned single - the song that Virgin had always earmarked as the one to push the album to a wider audience - 'Wrapped in Grey', was prepared for release but cancelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead\u003cbr\u003e2 My Bird Performs\u003cbr\u003e3 Dear Madam Barnum\u003cbr\u003e4 Humble Daisy\u003cbr\u003e5 The Smartest Monkeys\u003cbr\u003e6 The Disappointed\u003cbr\u003e7 Holly Up on Poppy\u003cbr\u003e8 Crocodile\u003cbr\u003e9 Rook\u003cbr\u003e10 Omnibus\u003cbr\u003e11 That Wave\u003cbr\u003e12 Then She Appeared\u003cbr\u003e13 War Dance\u003cbr\u003e14 Wrapped in Grey\u003cbr\u003e15 The Ugly Underneath\u003cbr\u003e16 Bungalow\u003cbr\u003e17 Books Are Burning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"33 1\/3 Record Distributors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41819718844590,"sku":"633367792716","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/xtcn.jpg?v=1710279015","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/xtc-nonsuch-2lp-200g-gatefold","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
