X-Ray Spex Spermfree Geriatric 1990 German Press VG/VG+

X-RAY SPEX - SPERMFREE GERIATRIC

Rare 1990 German Pressing

A legendary, notoriously offensive parody/bootleg release from the European punk underground, this rare 1990 German pressing of X-Ray Spex's Spermfree Geriatrics (Ron Records – RON 009) is a prime artifact for hardcore punk completionists and bootleg collectors. Mocking the cover art and concept of the band's famous 1978 debut Germfree Adolescents, this unauthorized release collects rare 1970s live recordings, radio sessions, and early demo takes from Poly Styrene and company in all their raw, unpolished glory. Housed in its distinctive spoof picture sleeve, this limited unofficial press captures the fierce, chaotic live energy that made X-Ray Spex one of the most vital acts of the first UK punk wave.

1990 German import/release by The Market Gasse, catalog # Ron 009.  Rare pressing issued in very small quantities with plain white labels (runouts mark A1 and B1 for sides); highly collectible.

Sleeve grades VG+.  Excellent, almost NM condition.  Includes generic white inner sleeve.

Vinyl grades VG.  This grade is probably more about the pressing quality than how the disc play tested -- it didn't seem to have any play testing issues but it's hard to tell given the pressing quality is a bit muted and not the best.  The vinyl surface also makes it VG as it has some surface marks (especially a few visible right in front of the dead wax) and some other light surface marks/hairlines.
