1985 greatest hits album by XTC
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [1]
The Compact XTC: The Singles 1978–1985 is a singles compilation album by XTC originally issued in 1985. It replaced Waxworks: Some Singles 1977–1982 as a greatest hits album (and, bizarrely, used the same catalogue number in the UK and some other countries), adding six singles issued between English Settlement and The Big Express . It took advantage of the compact disc 's greater storage capacity to limit it to a single disc. It was superseded by the double-disc set Fossil Fuel: The XTC Singles 1977–1992 , on which all eighteen tracks appear.
Two UK Virgin Records singles are missing from this compilation: "Respectable Street" (1981) and "No Thugs in Our House" (1982), as well as "Take This Town" (1980) – an RSO Records released single issued from the soundtrack of the film "Times Square". 'International' singles missing are the re-recorded version of "Ten Feet Tall" (1980, North America) and "Love at First Sight" (1981, Canada).
