White Music is the debut studio album by the English band XTC, released on 20 January 1978.
It reached No. 38 in the UK album charts and spawned the singles "Statue of Liberty" (which was banned by the BBC for the line "sail beneath your skirt") and a re-recording of "This Is Pop?".
A German import, ca. 1991, includes these same tracks but in a different order: the first eleven tracks as the original release ("Radios in Motion" as track 1, "Science Friction" as track 7, through "Heatwave" as track 11), followed by the bonus tracks "Traffic Light Rock" through "Neon Shuffle" as tracks 12-19 respectively. Another release (CAR 50691) uses slightly different song titles: "New Town Animal In A Furnished Cage", "Into the Atomic Age", "Hang onto the Night", "Science Fiction"; in some countries, the same differences in titles are applied to the CDVX2095 edition.
Note: tracks 13, 14 and 15 were the songs of the XTC first EP called 3D EP.
