Drums and Wireless: BBC Radio Sessions 77–89

Drums and Wireless: BBC Radio Sessions 77–89 is a compilation album by the English rock band XTC, released by Windsong International in October 1994. It contains a selection of songs recorded for BBC radio between 1977-1989. Its tracks were later included on the 4-disc boxed set Transistor Blast: The Best of the BBC Sessions in 1998.

Critical reception
Chris Woodstra of AllMusic felt that the compilation "does a good job" of collecting most of XTC's BBC appearances, saying, "While many band's BBC sessions differ only slightly from the studio recordings, XTC was able to stretch out on their sessions for significantly different interpretations."
