Steve Lamacq plays X-Ray Spex's debut album in full, introduced with an archive interview with frontwoman Poly Styrene.
Released in 1978, this was the first and last album that the band would release. It was recorded at Essex Studios and released on EMI. Poly Styrene was inspired to start a punk band after watching The Sex Pistols perform at Hastings Pier Pavilion two years before. Germfree Adolescents has influenced a wide range of artists ever since, from Karen O to Kim Gordon, Beth Ditto and FKA Twigs.
