Yes, there were two of them, an EP and an LP, collected onto one CD. "The Mole From The Ministry" was certainly Walrus-y! And, in a nod to "Sgt. Pepper" the first Dukes EP has an endless runout groove with a backwards, sped up message. The Dukes project definitely helped to add a Beatley spark to their XTC work around the time, on things like "The Loving" and "Season Cycle" and, later, "Knights In Shining Karma."
