Two years for the debut ‘X-Aspirations’, the original line-up of Ian Rilen, Steve Lucas, Ian Krahe and Steve Cafiero recorded the 10 tracks that were used for this album. They were recorded in a lounge-room on a four-track.

The recordings marked Rilen’s first work after leaving Rose Tattoo, not long after writing ‘Bad Boy For Love’.

Some of the songs from this release ended up on X albums later.

Gil Matthews of Aztec Music remastered these original songs just weeks ago.

Aztec Music will release the album later this week (October 6, 2011).
