[[XTC]]'s '''3D&nbsp;– EP''' was the band's vinyl debut. It was released on October 7, 1977 on Virgin
Records. It was a 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 Da Capo Companion to 20th-century Popular Music'' (1995) writes that the album and "particularly its lead track 'Science Friction' set the tone for the early part of XTC's career, with Partridge's fondness for puns (exemplified by the band's name) and both his and Moulding's pop sensibilities to the fore, backed by Andrews' quirky keyboard style."<ref>{{cite book|editor-last=Hardy|editor-first=Phil|title=The Da Capo Companion to 20th-century Popular Music|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CCoaAQAAMAAJ|year=1995|publisher=Da Capo Press|isbn=978-0-306-80640-7}}</ref>
The songs were recorded and mixed at Abbey Road Studios, London, April 28-30 1977. The sessions were

"Goodnight Sucker" is an unlisted bonus track. It has yet to make an appearance on any CD.

3D EP (stylised as 3D • EP) is the debut record by English rock band XTC, released on 7 October 1977 through Virgin Records.[1] The songs were recorded and mixed at Abbey Road Studios with production and engineering by John Leckie. "I'm Bugged" and "New Town Animal in a Furnished Cage" were also recorded at these sessions and these versions later appeared on their debut LP White Music (1978). 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.

The Da Capo Companion to 20th-century Popular Music (1995) writes that the album and "particularly its lead track 'Science Friction' set the tone for the early part of XTC's career, with Partridge's fondness for puns (exemplified by the band's name) and both his and Moulding's pop sensibilities to the fore, backed by Andrews' quirky keyboard style."[2]
