English Settlement is the fifth studio album and first double album by the English band XTC, released 12 February 1982 on Virgin Records. It reached number 5 on the UK Album Chart for an 11-week stay, and number 48 on the Billboard 200 album chart for a 20-week stay. The album's music style marked a turn towards the more pastoral pop songs that would dominate later XTC releases, with increased use of acoustic guitar and fretless bass
Ball and Chain" is a song written by Colin Moulding of XTC for their 1982 album English Settlement. It was issued as the second single from the album on 26 February 1982, following the success of the band's biggest hit Senses Working Overtime . Early in recording sessions, Langer walked out, apparently feeling his contribution was not needed. The band completed the recordings with Winstanley, however they were not released until 25 March 2002 on Coat of Many Cupboards. Both songs were rerecorded with Hugh Padgham producing during the sessions for English Settlement in October and November 1981.
But "Ball and Chain" is still a classic early XTC brawler at heart, Terry Chambers hitting the hell out of the drums while switching between 4/4 beats and not throughout, Moulding's singing showing his increasing skill with his vocals and delivery. The addition of keyboards may date the track to an extent, but the sheer joy of the arrangement, pumping up the volume just enough for its gloriously fun ending, makes this yet another XTC classic - nothing to be sneezed at.
