Description

Released in November 1978, Germfree Adolescents is the debut studio album by British punk rock band X-Ray Spex and one of the most distinctive records to emerge from the original UK punk movement.

Led by the unmistakable vocals and rebellious attitude of Poly Styrene, the album combines energetic punk guitars with the unusual addition of saxophone, creating a sound that set the band apart from their contemporaries.

Featuring sharp social commentary, infectious melodies and an unmistakable DIY punk spirit, the album tackles consumerism, artificiality and modern society with humour and attitude.

Highlights include the iconic 'Oh Bondage! Up Yours!', 'The Day The World Turned Day-Glo', 'Identity' and the title track 'Germfree Adolescents'.

A hugely influential punk classic and an essential addition to any collection of late-1970s British music.

Pressing Notes
