X-Ray Spex – Germfree Adolescents LP

Description

**Ltd Clear “X-Ray” Vinyl Edition

Real Gone Music is proud to presentGermfree Adolescents,one of the signature albums of the early (1978) Britishpunk movement, in an “x-ray clear” vinyl edition that servesas an ideal prism through which to see the hypocrisy ofconsumerist culture. The one and only LP release from XRay Spex and its irrepressible frontwoman Poly Styrenehas been deemed by everybody from Greil Marcus toRobert Christgau toSpintoMojoas one of the greatestpunk albums ever made, and for this reissue, we’ve done it right;besides the clear vinyl (offering excellent sound), we’ve reproduced the inner lyric sheet, where you can read Poly’s brilliant observations about the plastic, corporate nature of modern society. All of which she sings in a passionate yowl all her own (with Lora Logic among others backing on saxophone); this is not only one of the most penetratingly observant punk records, it’s also one of the most passionate, and, surprisingly enough, catchy. Check out “The Day the World Turned Day-Glo” and “Germ Free Adolescents” if it’s hooks you’re after; if it’s righteous anger and a noisy racket you’re seeking, every track will do ya.
