X-Ray Spex – Germfree Adolescents (Vinyl)
With the opening track of Germfree Adolescents, “I Am a Cliche,” she spouts gibberish, “yama yama yama yama” shamelessly in between versus proclaiming, “I am a cliche, I am a cliche / I am a cliche you’ve seen before / I am a cliche that lives next door / I am a cliche you know what I mean / I am a cliche pink is obscene.” She addresses any criticism she might receive head on, with humor, with wily energy, and with a half time distorted guitar chugging along underneath her vocals.
The songwriting is political, precise, poetic, and it defies the linear concept of time. Between Poly’s wild unleashed vocals, the saxophone riffs piercing through heavy guitars, and frantic drums, X Ray Spex created something every current and future punk should listen to.

Info columns
PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
