Whats on your turntable tonight?

@bslon +1 X "Los Angeles"

Remarkable record, particularly the first Slash pressings.  Engineering/mixing were superb given X was still considered something of an outlier at the time.  I'm sure having Ray Manzarek producing it helped a lot.

Have you heard the recent (August 2020) X release "Alphabetland"? (don't know if this link will embed properly)  Original lineup, like they never stopped.

@puffball08 I hadn’t played that X record in a long while, Billy Idol’s Gen X reminded me to dig it out. Ray M plays on it too, also produced Wild Gift which I planned to play but ran out of gas. Cool the originals are still together, there’s been some health issues. Haven’t heard Alphabetland but after reacquainting with LA I’ll need to stream it. Thanks for mentioning!
