About this album

Waxworks: Some Singles 1977-1982 is a smart snapshot of XTC’s rapid early development, bringing together the singles that established them as one of British pop’s most inventive bands. Issued in 1982, it charts the group’s move from jagged new wave urgency on early songs like Science Friction and This Is Pop? to the more melodic, sophisticated writing of Making Plans for Nigel and Senses Working Overtime. The compilation underlines XTC’s gift for sharp hooks, nervous energy and slyly intelligent lyrics, qualities that helped shape post-punk and indie pop alike. As a singles collection, it captures the band’s most immediate and influential work from their first five years.
