Description
Original 1981 SLASH RECORDS pressing of the second X album, WILD GIFT (SR 107)
Produced by Ray Manzarek
INCLUDES ORIGINAL CUSTOM INNER SLEEVE
AMG 5 STARS: For X's second release, 1981's Wild Gift, the quartet followed the same path they had taken a year earlier on their debut, Los Angeles, creating another batch of timeless compositions that merged the energy of punk rock with other musical styles. Former Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek reprised his role as producer on what would turn out to be X's last independent release before signing to Elektra. Included are such eventual punk standards as "We're Desperate," the melodic hookfest "White Girl" (sampled years later by the Red Hot Chili Peppers in their song "Good Time Boys"), and "Beyond and Back" (which would serve as a title for their 1997 two-CD anthology). Other highlights include the '50s-prom feel of "Adult Books," the punk-pop composition "In This House That I Call Home," and the rapid "Back 2 the Base." While it may be a shade less exceptional than its predecessor, Wild Gift is nonetheless a classic effort.
Condition: the sleeve- still in the original shrink wrap- grades EX. The record grades NM. Original inner sleeve included; the record ships in an anti-static, dust free, archival inner sleeve. Check out my feedback score; you won't be disappointed.
