Which English punk band released the 1978 album Germfree Adolescents?

X-Ray Spex released the 1978 album Germfree Adolescents. It was the only studio album released during the band’s original active period and showcased the distinctive vocals of Poly Styrene and the prominent saxophone of Lora Logic and Rudi Thompson on different recordings.

The album’s title track criticized consumer culture, artificiality, and dependence on plastic products. X-Ray Spex stood out within the first-wave London punk scene because of Poly Styrene’s unusual vocal style and the use of saxophone in songs built around aggressive guitars.

Germfree Adolescents is sometimes confused with albums by The Slits or Wire, other influential English bands from the same era. However, the album’s combination of Poly Styrene’s voice, punk energy, and saxophone is specifically associated with X-Ray Spex.
