A rare collection of early demo recordings pre "Germ Free Adolescents". Updated from the original 1991 release with new sleeve notes from Paul Dean & Lora Logic. On Limited 'Day-Glo' Pink Vinyl + Insert, 'Day-Glo' Orange Vinyl + Insert and 'Day-Glo' Green CD.'Obsessed With You [The Early Years]' is an official release of the early X-Ray Spex demo recordings which would evolve into the celebrated pioneering 'Germ Free Adolescents' album. Also includes early versions of classic Punk pioneering debut single tracks 'Oh Bondage, Up Yours!' and 'I Am A Cliché'.Recorded in 1977, the majority of these recordings feature original saxophonist Lora Logic and capture the raw instinctive power of the band who seemed to arrive fully formed despite their youth. The iconic vocal stylings of Poly Styrene immortalised here are even more visceral than what was recorded for the final product and further indicate just how much inspiration they lent Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna and the Riot Grrrls that followed. Elsewhere, an early take on 'Germ Free Adolescence' has subtle electronic influences that hint at a potential future the band didn't hang around long enough to fulfill.
