[Pre Order] X-Ray Spex - Obsessed With You (The Early Years) - Day-Glo Orange Vinyl LP *

Release Date: July 24, 2026

The early X-Ray Spex demo recordings that would evolve into the celebrated Germ Free Adolescents — on limited Day-Glo Orange vinyl with insert!

Obsessed With You (The Early Years) is an official release of the early X-Ray Spex demos, updated from the original 1991 release with new sleeve notes from Paul Dean and Lora Logic. Recorded in 1977, the majority of these recordings feature original saxophonist Lora Logic and capture the raw instinctive power of a band that arrived fully formed. The iconic vocal stylings of Poly Styrene immortalized here are even more visceral than the final product, and further indicate just how much inspiration they lent Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna and the Riot Grrrls that followed. Includes early versions of the pioneering punk debut single tracks "Oh Bondage, Up Yours!" and "I Am A Cliché."
