    On Wild Gift, themes of commitment, betrayal, and jealousy join forces with X’s ever-expanding sonic palette. Who knew that love gone wrong could sound this right? Expanded with seven bonus tracks, including unreleased demos and live versions. Deluxe booklet includes liner notes, band commentary, photos, memorabilia, and lyrics.

    John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom, and D.J. Bonebrake were critical and popular heroes on the bristling LA club scene of the late ’70s to early ’80s. With X, the four took a hardcore approach that combined traditional blues, folk, country, rockabilly, and punk rock with a dark lyrical sensibility that reflected the cynical times.

    Among the band’s biggest early fans was ex-Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, who produced X’s acclaimed first album, Los Angeles, for the fledgling local label Slash. After 1981’s equally praised Wild Gift, X signed a major-label deal with Elektra, which would release 1982’s Under The Big Black Sun and their next four albums -- each a raging slab of musical invention that would help sow the seeds of the "alternative" revolution.

    MP3
    MP3 is a popular format used by many players (e.g. iPods, Zune, etc) and is slightly compressed. We offer our MP3s at a bitrate of 320 kbps, which is a higher sound qaulity than the 256 kbps industry standard.

    Apple Lossless (iTunes, iPod, VLC, MPlayer)
    This high-quality sound format is called "Loseless" because virtually all of the original sound quality is retained.

    FLAC (VLC, MPlayer,iCoolPlayer)
    Different Lossless formats can be played on different digital players. Click for more details.

    WMA (WMP, Zune, Sansa, VLC, MPlayer)
    For music lovers it offers a finer listening experience than an MP3, and with the higher quality comes larger file sizes.
