At the time XTC's long-awaited box set, Coat of Many Cupboards, was released in the spring of 2002, it was mentioned in accompanying press interviews (most notably one in Record Collector) that the band was working on an archival series entitled Fuzzy Warbles, ostensibly to combat the flood of bootlegs cluttering the collectors' market. Given that anything involving the XTC camp moved very slowly in the '90s, it was easy to assume that this was a flight of fantasy on the level of the group's much-rumored shelved bubblegum album, but, lo and behold, the first installments of Fuzzy Warbles appeared at the end of 2002. By that time, the plans had shifted and Colin Moulding had pulled out of the project, leaving Andy Partridge to run wild with the multi-volume rarities series. Moulding's departure really wasn't that big of a deal, since Partridge always was the general of XTC, dictating the sound and style of the records and writing the lion's share of songs. So, Fuzzy Warbles would have wound up as a clearinghouse for Partridge's demos, outtakes, and goofs even if Colin had been involved with the series, but without him, the records were issued under Partridge's name, even if all the material was intended for XTC and sometimes Moulding and departed guitarist/drummer Dave Gregory appear on the recordings -- so, for most intents and purposes, they should be considered XTC recordings, not Partridge solo recordings.
