F-X were a Worthing punk band and are not to be confused with a later band called FX who used to play all around London. They’ve appeared on numerous bootleg compilation albums over the years and they always stuck out for 1) Their outsize 8″ picture cover 2) The American Civil War scene on the cover 3) The song is apparently about the South Rising Again 3) Teddy boys buying it thinking it was some confederate rockabilly bollocks and then smashing it up in anger when they played it and found it was dastardly punk rock and 4) Noone knew fuck all about the band!
The one thing we did know was that it was pure punk perfection!
