X-RAY SPEX
RECORDS
the
X-Ray Spex label was formed as a subsidiary of EMI. [Phil] Presky [of EMI]
became the label manager, with the band getting a £10k advance, 15% royalties
and £20k advertising for Spex singles." Those X-Ray Spex singles all had
catalogue numbers taken from EMI International's INT-500 series. The first
of them, 'The Day The World Turned Dayglo' b/w 'Iama Poseur' (INT-553; 4/78) had
a green label without an EMI International logo on it; only the INT-500 number
shows its parentage. The others had blue labels and the logo.
Needless to say, the X-Ray Spex label lasted only as long as the band's
association with EMI did - that is to say, around twelve months. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
