'the big express' is the seventh studio album by xtc, released in 1984. it was one of xtc's harder-edged albums, in contrast to the pastoral 'mummer' and 'skylarking' which were released in sequence with it. the seventh track, 'i bought myself a liarbird' is about their former manager, ian reid. initial copies of the lp were released in a round sleeve. working titles considered for the album were: coalface, shaking skinheads, and bastard son of hard blue rayhead.
