XTC - “Sleepyheads”, outtake from Drums & Wires, released on Coat Of Many Cupboards box set in 2002.
This track was originally an instrumental demo called “Disco”. It later surfaced in a slower form on a flexi-pop single as the song “Looking For Footprints.”
Unfortunately the best version of this song, titled “Sleepyheads” on the box set, was never released until 20 years after “Looking For Footprints”, and it’s easily the best version of them all. Drums & Wires is a classic XTC album, but there are at least two songs that “Sleepyheads” could have bumped off the album in order to improve it.
