From the various interviews and comments also on Chalkhills with respect to the Fuzzy Warbles tracks, it seems like there was at least one, if not maybe two ideas for concept albums that never materialized. Here it mentions a funfair concept album in the notes for Bumpercars chalkhills.org/reelbyreal/s_Bumpercars.htmlHe talks more about the funfair album here: chalkhills.org/reelbyreal/s_TheTinyCircusOfLife.htmlHe says that "The Tiny Circus Of Life" is part of it too and "it's a funfair life’ concept record, along with ‘Barnum’, ‘Bumpercars’, ‘End Of The Pier’ and a few others." So we have for the Funfair: The Tiny Circus of Life Barnum Bumpercars End of The Pier others...? Any suggestions what the others are/should be? If no canon suggestions exist from Andy or Colin, what would you choose to make this one? I could have sworn somewhere I've since forgotten that I read a comment by Andy saying in the notes for one of the Fuzzy songs that it was yet another example of a Seaside themed concept album and/or a song to put together with others to make your own version of the unreleased concept. I can't remember if that was for the Funfair or Seaside album or if I'm entirely imagining the seaside thing. Does this ring a bell to anyone or am I imagining it? Continuing on, I'm curious if any of you have put together from the non-album tracks your own version of this concept EP or LP, and if yes what you include?

A song about seagulls would fit a seaside theme 🤔

Yes for sure. Am I imagining/confusing that or did he ever comment about a seaside themed album (not the Oceans Daughter soundtrack? I dont mean that.)
Don, what would you add to fill out the funfair EP to make it into an LP. Andy's interview comments got us started with the official few but then he says and then a few more. I'd like to hear forum members ideas for what else to add and track ordering which was never stated.

Early live XtC stuff. The stuff that got me out of my depression at a show for 90 mins. That you loved and went bonkers to. No room left in your head to think about anything else. And they are the only group to do that for me. And I love them for it.

Tell me more (seriously). Like which early tracks live did it for you? How early are we talking? White or Go2 or even Helium? Or bit later?

Do my pun lists count as unreleased concept albums? If so, then you can include dogs, cheese, fish, trees, commercial jingles, and anatomical parts. (I started an illness list last night and hope to complete it soon.)

Were any of the ones you were at in circulation? So, off the shows that circulate which ones do you feel reflect that awesomeness most? Have a favorite?

Well I was hoping to seriously discuss the "funfair" concept album, but I'm up for expanding to also include your list. How about in addition to Funfair a "Pink Thing"/anatomical parts related album and a seasons/trees album from actual existing tracks? I'm sure Bimble and I could do for a cheese album but I can't recall any XTC or solo Andy cheese related songs. I'll have a bit of a go: For the Pink Thing/anatomical parts album, I think we must include: Pink Thing Wonder Annual Bags of Fun with Buster Church of Woman Cherry In Your Tree Lolly Suck It and See Visit To the Doctor My Weapon My Love Explodes Knuckle Down Ejac In a Box (MGOO) Walking Man

I think we should have Bimble's participation for a cheese themed list.
