do you still live on paddington st?

Very sad news indeed - a proper talent and a very intelligent woman.
She'll be missed.

Only a few releases over the last couple of decades, but all worth listening to.

🙁

Just thinking about her the other day and listened to "Germ free adolescents"

First Ari, now Poly. **** I feel old.

🙁 same age as me . . .

A real blast from the past thatone RIP.
anyone remember ActionPact from a similar era? George was hoooot!

Stoner no lived there a long time ago, also lived on Nottingham Place and used to drink in the Prince Regent, it was a classic laaarndarrn boozer.

Good article [url= http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2011/apr/26/poly-styrene-x-ray-spex ]here[/url]

Damn - she was good. Spent ages on you tube watching/listening XraySpex just a few weeks ago - had no idea she was ill. Spex have stood the test of time very well - Warrior/Germ Free/Day Glo have all aged well she was a great shouter.

Saw her perform a few times at the Hope and Anchor, good stuff and loved the sexy saxophonist.

RIP Poly

one of my fave tunes, I even liked the discord datcord cover

THE classic intro

RIP Poly.

World Turned Dayglo is a really good track!

Loved X Ray Spex back in the day, one of my favourites

So, so, sad.

Poly (Marion) was a truly iconic figure who was way ahead of her time in identifying consumer culture. I only saw X-Ray Spex once in the 70's but they were fantastic. Still play their album quite a lot and it's stood the test of time.

Oh Bondage, Up Yours, 1234!

Rest in noise Poly.

🙁

RIP Poly.
