Chalkhills: XTC: Black Sea (315 words)
Including the alternative hit "Generals And Majors", it becomes a breakthrough album for the band in America.
Geffen CD Release 1991 includes three tracks not on original album: the eco-anthem "Smokeless Zone" (written by Moulding), and the plea-for-anger-and-rough-edges "Don't Lose Your Temper" and the breathy "The Somnambulist" (both written by Partridge).
Some working titles for this album include Tigers in Tuneworld, Quartermasters, Hook, Line and Sinker, Ship of Fools, Work Under Pressure, and Terry and The Lovemen (hence the name of the band that plays on A Testimonial Dinner).
Sevastopol Photoalbum (293 words)
In remote times on the southern tip of the peninsula washed by the warm waters of the Black Sea there were Greek colonies that left on this land magnificent specimens of sublime Hellenic culture.
On the shores of one of them - the Akhtiarskaya Bay in 1787 Sevastopol arose, founded by the Russian sailors as a naval fortress with hope and firm belief that from that time on Russia's southern frontiers would be protected from the encroachments of the Empire's enemies.
The history of Sevastopol inseparably connected with that of the Black Sea Fleet was being shaped out and enriched by the feats of the Russian sailors.
