Product Details
XTC's late-'70s singles run remains one of the most underappreciated chapters in British post-punk history, a period when the Swindon band was moving faster than the music press could keep up with them. Moulding and Partridge were writing in genuinely different voices, which gave the band an internal tension most of their contemporaries couldn't manufacture even when they tried.
November 2026 marks the arrival of 45 (Vol.1), a brand-new LP compilation on 200-gram vinyl, celebrating XTC's explosive run of singles between 1977 to 1980. Bringing together the A-sides from the band's first, fiercely inventive years (including the US A side version of 'Ten Feet Tall' and soundtrack rarity 'Take This Town'), the collection captures XTC in an era where many new bands would have sacrificed future first-borns to have one decent songwriter. Yet this run of singles made it abundantly obvious that XTC contained two - in Colin Moulding and Andy Partridge.
