X: X-CITATIONS: Best of X and Rarities... Vol. 1 Vinyl LP

X are one of the most important bands Australia ever produced, which means for a long time they were criminally under-recognised in their own country. That's the punk tradition, apparently.

Formed in Sydney in 1977, X arrived at the same moment as the international punk explosion but sounded distinctly Australian, raw and confrontational in a way that owed as much to the heat and alienation of the local landscape as it did to the Ramones or the Stooges. X-Citations collects the best of their catalogue alongside rarities, making it both a solid entry point and essential archival listening for anyone serious about Australian punk and post-punk history. This is the kind of record that belongs in the same collection as your Radio Birdman and Saints records, full stop.

12" vinyl LP. Australian pressing. Genre: punk, post-punk, Australian rock.

Fans of: Radio Birdman, The Saints, Cosmic Psychos, Australian punk, post-punk.
