On 'Day-Glo' Orange Vinyl + Insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Obsessed With You [The Early Years]' is an official release of the early X-Ray Spex demo recordings which would evolve into the celebrated pioneering 'Germ Free Adolescents' album. Also includes early versions of classic Punk pioneering debut single tracks 'Oh Bondage, Up Yours!' and 'I Am A Cliché'. Recorded in 1977, the majority of these recordings feature original saxophonist Lora Logic and capture the raw instinctive power of the band who seemed to arrive fully formed despite their youth. The iconic vocal stylings of Poly Styrene immortalised here are even more visceral than what was recorded for the final product and further indicate just how much inspiration they lent Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna and the Riot Grrrls that followed. Elsewhere, an early take on 'Germ Free Adolescence' has subtle electronic influences that hint at a potential future the band didn't hang around long enough to fulfill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eTrack List: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Oh Bondage, Up Yours!\u003cbr\u003e2 Obsessed with You\u003cbr\u003e3 Let's Submerge\u003cbr\u003e4 Plastic Bag\u003cbr\u003e5 I Live Off You\u003cbr\u003e6 I Am a Cliché\u003cbr\u003e7 I Can't Do Anything\u003cbr\u003e8 The Day the World Turned Day-Glo\u003cbr\u003e9 Identity\u003cbr\u003e10 I Am a Poseur\u003cbr\u003e11 Genetic Engineering\u003cbr\u003e12 Germ Free Adolescence\u003cbr\u003e13 Age\u003cbr\u003e14 Warrior in Woolworths\u003cbr\u003e15 Art-I-Ficial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003estreet date 7\/24\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45088868139208,"sku":"5055869551779","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/4517569-3603590.jpg?v=1779576027","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/products\/pre-order-x-ray-spex-obsessed-with-you-the-early-years-lp-day-glo-orange-vinyl","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
