ReviewsRanked # 46 in Rolling Stone's "Women in Rock: The 50 Essential Albums" - "...Exciting...", Ranked #5 in Spin's "50 Most Essential Punk Records" - "...No '77ers had more fun thrashing through pop culture's candy shop of horrors than these brace-faced, sax-strangling supergeeks...", 4 stars out of 5 - "The band's entire studio output in just over an hour...", 3 stars out of 5 - Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums" - "...Inventive, humorous, fiesty and filler-free.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It still comes up trumps, packed with such witty, no-nonsense rants as 'Warrior In Woolworths,' 'Identity' and 'The Day The World Turned Day-Glo'...", "It's the roots of Sleater-Kinney, Le Tigre, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and an up-and-coming art-punk garage crew near you.", Ranked #19 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums" - "...Poly Styrene steered X-Ray Spex from market-stall chic to Top of the Pops with an audacious run of hits...", 4 stars out of 5 - "The heat and intensity of this debut has never been repeated. Nearly 30 years after it was recorded, GERMFREE ADOLESCENTS is as timely as ever.", "Poppy enough to feel like candy; weighty enough to leave a deliciously painful knot in your gut after 'The Day The World Turned Day-Glo' grinds to a halt.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Punk credentials assured, the group relished messing with the genre's narrow musical template by adding atonal saxophone breaks from the delightfully-named 'Lora Logic' and the distorted guitar figures of 'Jak Airport.'"

  • Great 1970's punk album with Poly Styrene on lead vocals. Every song is brilliant

    Quality punk album. Brilliant songs written by teenager nickname Poly Styrene. She was one of the first ladies of punk in the mid to late1970's. I had only heard a few of X Ray Spexs songs but was overwhelmed by the quality of all the songs. Sadly Marian (real name) died in 2011 of cancer aged 53
