鬼のようにデモをつくっています。
"Nonsuch"以前のものはVirgin側に権利がある為、それに抵触しないデモ250曲"Fuzzy Warbles"シリーズを(Andy Partridge名義 Apeレーベルより)順次リリース。全曲Andy Partridgeによる解説つき。

Demo Tracks (1992)(ヴァージン・ジャパンVJCP-14044)
  1. The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead(demo)
  2. The Smartest Monkeys(demo)
  3. Down A Peg(demo) *
  4. My Bird Performs(demo)
  5. Always Winter Never Christmas(demo) **
解説:市川哲史
アルバム未収録の"Down A Peg"(Moulding)"Always Winter Never Christmas"(Partridge) が聴ける。 ただし、歌詞カードは間違いだらけ。

These songs were recorded at home on the respective composers multi-track cassette machines.
Normally, these recordings would not be heard by anyone other than the three members of XTC and a record company A&R Director.

7年ぶりの新作 "Apple Venus vol.1"収録曲のデモバージョンをまったく同じ曲順で収録したもの。 デモの音源・サンプリングがそのまま完成版に通用する完成度の高さには驚かされる。 デモ「最終版」の前にデモ「覚え書き」版らしき骨組みだけの数小節が紹介されているものも。

日本盤(ポニーキャニオンPCCY-01415)
対訳について"Apple Venus vol.1"の歌詞が「難解 (原文のまま)」なため、Andy Partridge本人の協力を得て全面改訂したとの断り書きあり。 シロウトでさえ首を傾げるような訳に原稿料を支払い、埋め草としか思えない推薦文に2ページも割いた上に「XTC半世紀の歩み」と誤植をノーチェックで販売する杜撰さを反省材料にしたのか、 今回はいたれりつくせり。

日本盤ボーナスCD(アンディとコリンによる解説)
  1. How Easter Theatre Came To Be
  2. How Frivolous Tonight Came To Be
  3. How I'd Like That Came To Be
アナログは英国でのみ発売、こちらはシングルジャケットだがレコードのケース(紙製)片面いっぱいにCDではブックレットに載った彼ら自身による曲解説が印刷されている。
