XTC and the music business

In this edition of What Do You Call That Noise? The XTC Podcast , we go behind the scenes to see how deals get signed, press releases get written and records get released. Joining us are Ronnie Gurr , who went from producing a punk fanzine to working in the Virgin press office; Mike Smith, who signed Andy Partridge to Warner Chappell Music as a songwriter; Ben Wardle, who paved the way for one of the collaborations between Andy and Stephen Duffy; and Youie Mourra , who got tantalisingly close to releasing a series of XTC retrospective collections.
