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.
