This single was purchased by myself, from a Market indie record stall, in 1977. It has been kept in a dry, cool place since the day of purchase and only played a handful of times. The single is in excellent condition, and so is the picture cover. XTC - Science friction UK 7" vinyl is now mega rare! The single was withdrawn and replaced with a 12" version, so only a few 7" copies have surfaced worldwide. (Maybe less than 10 copies). Record Collector have put this single in their top 20 rarest British records list. This record is now rarer than The Sex Pistols rarest collectables. Serial number: VS188 (this number is hand scratched onto the edge of the disc) Record Label: Virgin Records. Postage will depend on destination. It would only let me put a £7 option on for this category to post to the UK. I would obviously want to post it as securely as possible so please email me for a quote. I am happy to post worldwide but would need to get you a quote depending on the country. Any questions or further photos, please contact me and I will happily help!
