The X-Men
Do The Ghost (1984)
Very similar to the output from The Sting-Rays and
The Vibes, THE X-MEN were creating a very special blend of Beat, Garage
Punk, Rockabilly and psychotic Rock'n'Roll elements that’s hard to pigeonhole.
Their debut two-track 7” vinyl on Creation Records was released in 1984
and has now been unavailable for more than two decades. On a side note, the
title track, Do The Ghost, was also used on the Cream Of The
Cats bootleg compilation album series. Tracklist: Do The Ghost
/// Talk.
Spiral Girl (1985)
Also out on Creation Records, THE X-MEN’s second
two-track 7” single comes along once more with a decent stomper and a more
Psychedelic-driven number, all backed by very tight sound, gorgeous sleeve
design and the inclusion of a band photo. This long-deleted chunk of vinyl, like
their debut, has become kind of a collector’s item. Tracklist: Spiral Girl
/// Bad Girl
