Description
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, punk rockers X labored through a quintessential punk existence; banned from playing venues, harassed by the police, and suffering through several lineup changes -- including the untimely death of guitarist Ian Krahe -- they eventually achieved legendary status after years of performing. Formed by bassist Ian Rilen, who had left Rose Tattoo in 1977, X initially started life as Evil Rumours. Composed of vocalist Steve Lucas, guitarist Ian Krahe, and drummers Steve Cafiero and Eddie Fisher, they began playing Sydney punk rock hangouts before the unfortunate death of Krahe, who died in his sleep in May 1978. Only three demo tracks survive with Krahe's work which were later released on the 1985 Aberrant punk compilation Why March When You Can Riot? Geoff Holmes took up Krahe's duties only to be replaced by Peter Coutanche in early 1979. He left soon after, and the band, now a three-piece, released the single "I Don't Wanna Go Out" before the raw and aggressive X-Aspirations album in 1980. Coutanche rejoined the band, but by mid-1980, X had called it quits.
These recordings date from before their 1st LP and are killer, raw Australian punk. The live recording sounds amazingly good for this period as it was done professionally & broadcast live on the radio origanlly. LP also Includes 2 demo tracks from the original lineup which are really tough to find. Includes insert, plays great. VG+/VG+
All records graded visually according to goldmine standards and sold as-is. Graded as record/cover. I try to grade conservatively and note anything out of the ordinary. VG+ is the best rating I'll ever give. Please email with any ?'s
