“Poly Styrene smashed barriers. Sure one unusual young woman screaming, “Some people think that little girls should be seen and not heard but I think – OH BONDAGE UP YOURS! 1-2-3-4!” didn’t end ageism, racism, sexism or blind consumerism but her defiance inspired millions to fight those same things.
What follows is Obsessed With You, a long out-of-print Receiver Records collection of Poly and the X-Ray Spex’s 1977 demos.
It’s a must for fans but anyone else needs to consult Germ-Free Adolescence to to be hit full-force by Poly Styrene’ s musical and lyrical vision.” Music Ruined My Life Blogspot
