Description: Los Angeles was the debut album by X, released in 1980 on Slash Records and produced by ex-Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek. The band—fronted by Exene Cervenka and John Doe—emerged from the same L.A. punk scene that gave rise to Black Flag and Germs but stood out for weaving in rockabilly and poetic lyricism. Manzarek’s involvement not only boosted the record’s visibility but linked the rebellious spirit of punk to L.A.’s ’60s counterculture legacy. Today, it’s considered one of the cornerstone documents of West Coast punk.
