The proper (2nd) final studio album from the classic band 'X-Ray Spe'x!

 This highly sought after album received a very limited CD only release in 1995 on Receiver Records UK and has been officially unavailable for the past 27 years!

The album reunited the iconic X-Ray Spex vocalist - Poly Styrene with original X-Ray Spex saxophonist - Lora Logic and bassist - Paul Dean, as well as guitar from Kula Shaker frontman Crispian Mills under his then pseudonym Red Spectre.

This new release has been remastered from the original master tapes and is available on a Vinyl LP for the first time ever! Including the original and expanded artwork, and including previously unpublished lyrics and original sleeve notes from Poly.

These days most people don’t even realise that X-Ray Spex had a follow up to what is now embraced as one of the classics of the punk rock period 'GERMFREE ADOLESCENTS' This lovingly compiled revisit puts the spotlight on a lost gem that has many of the hallmarks of the debut but is sieved through a different lens. Conscious Consumer was an upgrade to the classic debut with the same punk rock urgency and themes of consumerism but with a poppier edge and a more considered wisdom gleamed from the ups and downs of life from the perspective of an older, wiser, Krishna devotee.

When released this was suppose to be a comeback, but it was a lost classic! It was the first new material recorded by the band for many years, despite many of the songs inc. were written a decade before when the band were together in 1977 etc.. On the original release this album though just disappeared into a void being out of sync with the times and before Poly got her deserved iconic status! It was also not helped as Poly got hit by a bus in London central and this album could/was not promoted, so it just then disappeared without trace.

Listening to the album again though after a long break, Paul Dean (The Original Bass Player) is surprised.

“Conscious Consumer now sounds so much better than I remember. It wasn’t properly released at the time and so no one really knew about it?. If you love Germfree Adolescents you will love Conscious Consumer they are linked together. X-Ray Spex didn’t have just one great album it had two!”
