Chords for XTC-THE MEETING PLACE-THE TUBE-C4 1987

with their new single, The Meeting Place, which we recorded, oh that was difficult,
in Woodstock and produced by Todd Rundgren.
And the video was filmed by us at the same
location where the cult 1960s TV series The Prisoner was filmed, which accounts for why
they're all wearing blazers because that's what everyone wears in The Prisoner.
We'll
be having a Prisoner special later in the series.
