To promote Oranges & Lemons, XTC booked two sessions with BBC to re-record eight songs from the album. These were:

• "Scarecrow People"
• "King For a Day"
• "Here Comes President Kill"
• "Poor Skeleton Steps Out"
• "One of the Millions"
• "Garden of Earthly Delights"
• "Across This Antheap"
• "Chalkhills & Children"

This first session is spent programming Andy Partridge's drum machine for the songs selected. Dave Gregory was five hours late to this session, as he was rear-ended on his way to the studio. This session also continues drum programming work Gregory did in the month prior, during Partridge and Moulding's promotional visit to the United States.
