Care is the first full-length Shriekback album (and their second studio album after Tench), released in 1983.[5][6]

The single "Lined Up" was a minor club hit and reached number 39 on the Australian ARIA charts. "Lined Up" was released twice in the UK (the second time as a remix), peaking at number 89 initially and number 78 for the remix.[7] The album spent 3 weeks on the Billboard album chart, peaking at number 188.[8]

Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album "an intelligent, well-produced, spirited debut, demonstrating what every XTC fan knew all along — [Barry] Andrews is one of rock’s most original and musical keyboard players."[9]
