RELEASE DATE

Seminal punk band
X-Ray Spex
release a special live CD/DVD recorded at a 2008 sell-out concert at The Roundhouse through new future noise music imprint Year Zero. X-Ray Spex's first live outing since 1979, this performance of their classic album
Germ Free Adolescents
saw
Poly Styrene
and bassist
Paul Dean
joined by friends
Sid Truelove
(anarcho-punk drummer with
Rubella Ballet
and
Flux Of Pink Indians
),
Gt. Saxby
(former guitarist with
Arnold
, signed to Creation Records and Poptones) and
Flash
(sax player formerly with
Rip Rig & Panic
,
Jah Wobble
,
Don Cherry
and
The Slits
) at London's Roundhouse in front of 3,000 raucous fans. In 1976, X-Ray Spex were formed by Poly Styrene placing an ad in
NME
and
Melody Maker
for "Young Punx Who Want To Stick It Together." For a generation sifting through the wreckage left by punk rock, X-Ray Spex truly turned our world day-glo. The combination of tough, razor sharp riffs, kooky sax lines and Poly Styrene's wonderful voice and genius lyrics tearing into plastic consumerist society were perfect. Their 1978/1979 stay was all too brief -- a handful of memorable hit singles: "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" then "The Day The World Turned Day-Glo" followed by the anthemic "Identity" with its genius B-side "Let's Submerge," and the more atmospheric "Germ Free Adolescents" before the final spring 1979 release of "Highly Inflammable." Versions of all these songs are featured here, alongside previously-unreleased new track "Bloody War." X-Ray Spex transcended punk, influencing a whole new scene of indie kids and post-Riot Grrrl rockers like
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
and
The Gossip
. The band's innate genius and brilliant songwriting makes them as relevant now as they were then and they are the rarest of things -- a group that has never dated. Also includes an edited version of Poly Styrene's as-yet unpublished
Diary Of The 70s
. Housed in a special hard-case digi-book packaging. NTSC Region 0 DVD format; approx. running time: 66 minutes.
