XTC – Science Friction (1977)
XTC is a forerunner in what is known as the new wave subgenre. It came out during the 1970s when British music was taking some incredibly experimental directions. The first press was in the 12” format, prior to being narrowed to a 7” format. The smaller edition can earn you a lot of money – $2,000! You can believe that this record is incredibly scarce with a resale value like that. Only 50 copies were released.
