X-RAY SPEX had one great Punk album, nearly overlooked stateside. Good night MARIANNE, we always thought of you as POLY.

Now THIS was a song. It was one of those songs that you hear the first time and never forget. I laughed my ass off the first time I heard it, and was like "WTF"?

Very fun and free-wheeling. Rest In Peace, Marianne. :bluesad:

What was great-along with Poly's screaming hit-the sky-vocals-was that they brought sax to punk! One of the first British punk bands...who never got the airplay they truly deserved.
RIP Poly. You are loved.

You got it mate! That was what got me into the song too, the fact that it was punk rock with a saxophone in it. How many days did that come along? Not to mention Marianne being a 98-pound soaking wet ball of attitude that would have sent Godzilla home with his tail between his legs. :bouncegiggle:

Seeing the one guitarist with this sleeveless shirt and high top sneakers makes me miss the 80's so much...If only I had a time machine.
