Love And Politics
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1984 US Original, With Custom Inner Sleeve. Cut Corner. Produced By Don Dixon, Mastered At Sterling Sound By Greg Calbi. "Part Of The Early-'80s Explosion Of Southern Power Pop, The X-Teens Emulated The Quirky Wit And Geeky Tension Of New Wavers Like Elvis Costello, XTC, And Talking Heads. The Group Was Formed In Durham, North Carolina And Featured Guitarist/Vocalist Robert Bittle, Keyboardist/Vocalist Todd Jones, Bassist/Vocalist Kitty Moses, And Drummer Ned Robie. Their Debut Release Was The Don Dixon-Produced EP Big Boy's Dream, Issued On The Local Moonlight Label In 1980. Local Legends Dixon And Mitch Easter Both Worked On The Band's Self-Titled First Album, Which Was Released On Dolphin In 1983, Several Years After It Was Originally Completed. The Follow-Up, 1984's Love And Politic, Was The Band's Biggest Seller, Even Scoring A Little MTV Airplay With The Single "Change Gotta Come." However, That Taste Of Success Led To Internal Tensions, And The X-teens Split Up In 1986. Jones And Robie Formed 4 Who Dared, While Bittle And Moses Embarked On Their Own Project." AMG Bio.
