X-Ray Spex "Germfree Adolescents" (1978)
I was quite interested in this one, partly because I think the cover is
kind of groovy. Plus the lead singer sounds like a kind of an
interesting lady. She went on to renounce punk after having a religious
vision, and made a couple of more mellow albums under her own name. Then
she left music altogether to focus on her Krishnan studies.
The music is pretty enjoyable punk rock. The saxophone adds an extra
flavour to the mix. All in all it's like a mix of Roxy Music, the
Runaways and the Stooges. It's full of raw aggression, and Poly Styrene has a hell of a
yell on her.
