X, Los Angeles, 1980 on Slash

Debut LP from John Doe, Exene Cervenka, DJ Bonebrake and Billy Zoom. Produced (as were the next three X albums) by The Door’s keyboardist Ray Manzarek.

I was just mentioning Slash! records earlier this week – “Los Angeles” was a cut on the Slash! sampler Early Sessions and that was my intro to the band. Great LA punk band rooted in a kind of punk folk / Americana.

My copy—via Slipped Disc at a record fair at Mill No 5 in Lowell MA—is a 1983 speciality pressing with the Slash blood labels.
