1978's
Go + was a bonus 12" EP that came with the XTC album
Go 2. While the spartan black packaging is less memorable than
Go 2's comic text, the music inside is far more chaotic. 5 of the pop songs from
Go 2 have been transformed into radical dub re-arrangements. Tape speeds were sometimes altered and unusual effects were added. Some songs preserve their original vocals, while others are instrumentals. The results don't sound particularly extreme by modern standards, but they're distinctive and full of personality. The only comparable record I can think of is Basement 5's even-more-obscure
In Dub. And the 45 RPM pressing sounds great.
