X-O-DUS - English Black Boys (X.O.DUS)
Description
Manchester reggae band X-O-Dus are best known for their 12" single English Black Boys, produced by Dennis Bovell and released on Factory Records (Fac 11) in February 1980. Talent-spotted by Joy Division manager Rob Gretton, X-O-Dus performed at live events such as Zoo Meets Factory Halfway (August 1979) and Factory By Moonlight (April 1980). In time-honoured Factory fashion Fac 11 was released a year late, the only reggae record to appear in a sleeve designed by Peter Saville. Digitally remastered by Peter Beckmann in 2021, this 7 track vinyl edition includes both sides of the Factory single as well as 5 album demos recorded in 1980. The 180 gsm black vinyl pressing is limited to 500 copies. Cover design by Peter Saville. Vinyl inner bag contains sleevenotes by former manager Martin Dunlop along with archive X-O-Dus images, including previously unseen shots from the Moonlight Club show by Peter Anderson.
