Vinyl LP pressing. Four decades after their inception, one thing is
clear: X was not only one of the most influential bands to crash out of
the punk movement of the late '70s, but the group's music continues to
be sonically groundbreaking today. Songs written during the group's
inception are as relevant and inventive today as they were in 1977. The
band's early albums, Los Angeles, produced by Ray Manzarek of the Doors,
Wild Gift, and Under the Big Black Sun explored dark love and an even
darker L.A. with the unflinching eye of a Raymond Chandler novel.
Subsequent efforts like More Fun in the New World found the band
continuing to grow musically and politically, fearlessly mixing genres
without ever losing it's center. "The quintessential L.A. punk band made
the first great West Coast punk album with it's debut. Los Angeles is
best known for it's city-defining anthem and the torrid "Johnny Hit and
Run Paulene"; produced by Ray Manzarek of the Doors, it also shows that
punk and classic rock can be occasional friends" - No. 287 on Rolling
Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
