.
🧷 Available to pre-order online and from your favourite record store now • Available in-stores May 22 📆
.
“Officially released on vinyl for the first time, ‘Obsessed With You’ is a collection of demos tracked by the punk/new wave/riot grrrl pioneers X-Ray Spex in 1977, one year before the arrival of their iconic full-length album Germ Free Adolescents. Featuring a bevvy of earlier versions of eventual album cuts such as ‘Obsessed With You’, ‘Let’s Submerge’, ‘Identity’ and ‘Plastic Bag’, as well as demos of their classic early singles ‘Oh Bondage, Up Yours!’ and ‘I Am A Cliché’, the majority of these recordings feature original saxophonist Lora Logic, while the late, great OG grrrl rioter Poly Styrene sounds even more youthful and unhinged in her search of the ideal cadence for her signature howl. Complete with sleeve design based on original Poly Styrene artwork and brand-new sleeve notes from Paul Dean and Lora Logic, this is essential listening for any and all germ free youths, adolescents, millennials or boomers.”

On this day in 1978, The Stranglers released their third studio album ‘Black and White’, which includes a little ditty I was fortunate enough to contribute to entitled ‘Hey! (Rise of the Robots)’ 🐀

Monday memories… 💭
.
My old mucker and fellow X-Ray Spec, Paul Dean, and I at Resident Music in Brighton for the release of the ‘Conscious Consumer’ album 🧠🛒 in 2023
.
Such a joyous ✨ event catching up with Paul, Sandra and connecting with friends and fans who came to show their support 🙏
.
So magical that ‘Conscious Consumer’ reached Number 1 in the Record Store Chart 🏆 just a week after. I wonder if the upcoming ‘Obsessed With You’ release will do the same? 🫣 I know awards don’t matter and it’s not very punk 🧷 of me but a matching pair would make for lovely bookends or earrings! 📚
.
Paul and I will be at Rough Trade East 🏬 on May 24th “In Conversation + Signing” ✍️ for the new release. Spaces are limited but you can reserve your place 🎟️ now and pre-order the album on day-glo pink 🩷and orange 🧡 vinyl, CD 💿 and super limited edition Rough Trade exclusive black vinyl with a super cool ‘Obsessed With You’🪞rainbow mirrored insert (which I’m told have almost sold out). The Poly inspired artwork on this release is sublime! We hope to see you there 🥰
