Misc =XTC 's 3D EP was the band's vinyl debut. It was released on October 7, 1977 on VirginRecords. It was 12" single and was initially proposed with a 7" single (known as the "3D Single").However instead of issuing both Virgin recalled the 7" at the very last minute (however a few singles did escape). The singles that do exist have been known to fetch upwards of $1,000.The songs were recorded and mixed at Abbey Road Studios, London, April 28-30 1977. The sessions wereproduced and engineered by John Leckie. "I'm Bugged" and "New Town Animal in a Furnished Cage" werealso recorded at these sessions and these versions later appeared on their debut album "
White Music ".Promotional videos were made for "Science Friction", She's So Square" and "Dance Band".These same songs appeared on the "
White Music " CD as bonus tracks."Goodnight Sucker" is an unlisted bonus track. It has yet to make an appearance on any CD.
