  23. History Of Rock'n'Roll
"Rare Cuts & Leftovers"という表示通り、Andy Partridgeによる「裏」ベスト盤。 アルバム"Skylarking"の選にもれた(Andy Partridge自身がこれを収録することに反対した)"Dear God"、Andyが酔っぱらってレコーディングしたという"Extrovert"、またアナログ盤B面に甘んじて日の目をみることのなかった作品も… とにかく24曲たっぷり収録されている。 XTCがThree Wise Men,The Colonelの変名でリリースしたシングル2枚計4曲も収録。

裏ジャケットの3人の肖像(錆びた金属の部品をうまく組み合わせている)がそっくり。 昔、シングル"This Is Pop"のジャケットには形の似たぴかぴかの工具類を並べてタイトルを綴っていたが、時を経て彼らも外見的にくたびれてきたという意味か。
