Xtc - 45 (Vol 1)

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.
