The two albums were released on a single CD under the title Chips from the Chocolate Fireball (An Anthology) in late 1987.
They reformed and recorded the track "Open a Can of Human Beans" in 2003 for a charity album. The track was later re-released on Andy Partridge's Fuzzy Warbles, Vol. 7. Under another pseudonym, Terry and the Lovemen, XTC appeared on its own tribute album A Testimonial Dinner and thanked The Dukes of Stratosphear for the loan of their instruments. « hide |
