the group's first double album. In several territories outside the UK, the album was released as a single LP. Both the album and lead single "Senses Working Overtime" became the highest-charting records they would ever have in the UK, peaking at number five and number 10, respectively. The album remained on the UK Album Chart for 11 weeks. In the US, it reached number 48 on the Billboard 200 for a 20-week stay. Two more UK singles were issued: "Ball and Chain" (number 58) and "No Thugs in Our House" (no chart showing). Music videos were filmed for "Senses Working Overtime", "No Thugs in Our House", "All of a Sudden (It's Too Late)" and "Ball and Chain". The video for "Senses Working Overtime" was shot during tour rehearsals. Partridge did not want to embark on an English Settlement tour that included more than a few one-off gigs. His requests were ignored by Virgin and the band's management, and an extended international tour was scheduled. XTC also made numerous television appearances to promote the album. On 11 February 1982, they performed "Yacht Dance" and "No Thugs in Our House" on The Old Grey Whistle Test. It served as warm-up to the proceeding tour. Partridge later cited the performance as the first time he had experienced stage fright. The band also made a live appearance on The Oxford Road Show, performing "Snowman", "Ball and Chain" and "Jason and the Argonauts". XTC's world tour began on 7 March, in Brussels, and included further stops in France, Italy, the UK and the US. An elaborate stage set that displayed a large replica of the Uffington White Horse was constructed for the performances. Only nine full shows were ultimately performed. Tour withdrawal On 18 March, shortly before XTC were to play a sold-out, simulcast gig at Le Palace in Paris, Partridge told a French journalist "I like to listen to music that relaxes me and stimulates me in a relaxing manner. Because this is like owning a circus. And when you're finished with touring or whatever, you don't want to see other circuses. You just want to relax." He collapsed during the first song in the set and promptly ran off the stage, ending the show. His bandmates found him backstage clutching his stomach and retching in pain. An ambulance was called as it was thought he may have had appendicitis. It was soon discovered
