X - Under The Big Black Sun (MOVLP3255) LP Turquoise Vinyl
Under the Big Black Sun is the third studio album by American rock band X and was released in 1982. It's arguably their finest record. All 11 songs are exceptional, from both a performance and compositional point of view.
Before the recording of the album, singer Exene Cervenka's sister was killed by a drunk driver, and the band decided to work out their grief in the music, which eventually resulted in two of the album's best tracks: the melodic "Riding With Mary" and the vintage '50s sound of "Come Back to Me".
The record was produced by Ray Manzarek, who is best known as the co-founder of The Doors. The cover art illustration was made by Alfred Harris.
Under The Big Black Sun is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on turquoise coloured vinyl and includes an insert.
1. The Hungry Wolf
2. Motel Room In My Bed
3. Riding With Mary
4. Come Back To Me

6. Because I Do
7. Blue Spark 2
8. Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
