This live album was recorded at the Roundhouse in Camden, London, 6th September 2008. Available on both vinyl (SECLP321) and CD (SECCD321). Both releases have sleeve notes included by Celeste Bell, Poly Styrene's daughter, who also features on the encore of 'Oh Bondage Up Yours! This is the first time this has been released on vinyl. X-Ray Spex emerged in the late 1970s, known for their distinctive sound, socially conscious lyrics, and the dynamic frontwoman Poly Styrene. The band was active during the first wave of punk rock and played a significant role in the punk movement. Lead vocalist and songwriter Poly Styrene was known for her unique vocal style and often cited as an influential figure in the punk scene. X-Ray Spex released their debut album, Germfree Adolescents, in 1978, featuring the title track, Germfree Adolescents. The album is considered a classic of the punk era. Poly Styrene's lyrics often addressed social and consumerist issues, and her unconventional fashion sense and energetic stage presence added to the band's overall identity. While X-Ray Spex had a relatively short-lived career, disbanding in 1979, they left a lasting impact on the punk scene, and their music continues to be celebrated for its originality and influence. Poly Styrene sadly passed away in 2011, but her contributions to punk rock remain influential.
