X will reissue their first three albums, 1980's "Los Angeles," 1981's "Wild Gift" and 1982's "Under the Big Black Sun" on September 18th. The re-releases will feature unreleased studio songs and live tracks. Bassist John Doe has said that although acknowledged as one of the most influential punk bands, their albums have been unavailable due to poor distribution. "The main plus and advantage of doing this is that the records will be available. They're individually packaged instead of the crappy two-for-one CD that Slash put out for Wild Gift and Los Angeles. WEA was really lazy about stocking stores with our CDs. If you don't have records in stores, people can't listen to them. People are aware of X, but if you can't buy the records then you can't turn a friend onto it." Who thought they'd be hearing from X today? Anyone? (Click below for some tour-related info)
