Of course to round up the career of Susan Whitby,aka Lora Logic,the sax playing Buddhist. Here's one of the few recordings of her playing with X-Ray Spex at the infamous Roxy punk club in covent garden, Wearing a very dodgy outfit indeed.:
Whitby provided a different edge in the legions of bandwagon punks,with her spidery sax lines,and was later heard to moan about the lack of writing credits provided by her chum, and ,weirdly, another future Buddhist, Marion 'Polly Styrene' Elliot (RIP).
Their career was just about the right length,as there was nowhere left to go in this format by the end of 1978.Like the Pistols, one LP was all that they had in them, or was needed....in fact as great as these songs were,hear more than 7 or 8 in a row tends to be too much for the ears.
As for Lora, she left after the first single to go to more progressive area's, along with the other early punk rock ship jumpers who saw the writing on the wall quickly.(Devoto,Perry,Lydon etc).
So here we have a faltering,sometimes inept, muffled recording of a performance at the Roxy Club in 1977.Don't know when, but it doesn't seem to be the one used on the 'Live at the Roxy' album.
