X-Ray Spex: Germfree Adolescents 12"
Real Gone Music reissuesĀ Germfree Adolescents, one of the signature albums of the early (1978) British punk movement, on the format (vinyl) it belongs and in a color configuration it demands. The one and only LP release fromĀ X-Ray SpexĀ and its irrepressible frontwomanĀ Poly StyreneĀ has been deemed by everybody from Greil Marcus to Robert Christgau toĀ SpinĀ toĀ MojoĀ as one of the greatest punk albums ever made. And for this reissue, Real Gone has done it right; besides theĀ colored vinyl, they'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 (withĀ Lora LogicĀ 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 you justice.
