XTC — Science Friction (1977)

Never has there been a cooler album title than ‘Science Friction’ from XTC, which was released back in 1977. The band might have been little known across the pond in the United States, but in England they were massively popular, with their vinyls selling by the thousands. This particular record was shrunk to nearly half the size of an original vinyl, which has made it a lucrative collectible worth over $2000 in today’s terms. On top of that, only fifty copies were ever released to the public.
