X - I Don't Wanna Go Out 7''

Heaven.  Glorious heaven in the form of a 7'' single - thank you Ian Rilen (RIP).  Released in 1979, absolutely seminal.  Aussie punk rock never sounded so good (this is not the X from Los Angeles).  What was to follow?  Their album Aspirations.  My original copy of that is almost unplayable (scratched and layered with spilt beer).  It has been re-issued but this single (B-Side 'Waiting') is just waiting for you to do a download.

Then, get out there and chase down all their other releases - most probably only in CD form.

There is an interesting side project that Ian Rilen dabbled in - Sardine V.  Essentially it was a pop/new wave band with his wife and assorted muso's (Barton Price, Johanna Piggott etc).  They released a single ('Sudan') and EP ('I Hate You') which you will find in Mr Wired and Wasted.
