Unusual for a keyboardist, Johnny Slut became the face of the band and its most famous member, due largely to his striking image and fashion sense.
While the band were originally together, they never released a full album, only singles and an EP, although in 1997 two full-length compilations would be released featuring various Specimen songs.
Post-Specimen
After the band went its separate ways, guitarist Jon Klein worked with Siouxsie & the Banshees for a period of 7 years, before working with Sinéad O'Connor.
Johnny Slut went on to work with The KLF, Adamski and is now in Atomizer.

Specimen Lyrics
Hex...
It's an X,
Put the X back into Hex.
Sex.
Put the X back into Hex.Heeeexxxx
Joshua,
You can never love a civilian. You can never never never learn.
Oh well ???? Please from your very hand.
I sure look around for the sex(?)
But the next two ???? has left
Your a sheet thief.
But I saay
pleasure springs from leave.
Seems like some people ignite from everywhere. (uhhhuu)
And don't give a crack jack,
but did you call for rent?
But did you call her friend?
You sit in space, (auhh)
a beautiful waste, (uuuhh)
you fall on your face cuz you think I'm nothing.
Nothing can make you remember.
One thing will make you forget.
We live with obbsessions like these.
We take them into our hearts.
Holy hearts hope they never leave.
Oh how can we ever let them breeeeeath.
Hex! Whatevers next.
He's feeling fexed.
He touched me in my sleep,
but it's not over yet.
You can never love a civilian.
You can never never never learn.
Oh were all going to buurn,
and you just drew the longest fuse.
You sit in space,
a beautiful waste,
you fall on your face cuz you think I'm nothing.
Nothing can make you remember.
One thing will make you forget.
The feel of the floor, love in the wall (?).
Oh I feel no more,
feel no more,
spend no more,
spend no more.
Sex! Put the X back into Sex.
Hex! Whatevers next.
He's feeling fexed.
He touched me in my sleep,
but it's not over yet.
You can never love a civilian.
You can never never never learn.
Oh were all going to buurn,
and you just drew the longest fuse.
You sat in space,
a beautiful waste,
you fall on your face cuz you think I'm nothing.
Nothing can make you remember.
One thing will make you forget.
The feel of the floor, a lovely war (?).
Take the H from Ache
and the E is between
Put the X back into Hex.
Take the Xual from Sexual,
and the E is Wet(?)
But the X gets buried alive.
Take the H from ache
and the E is between
Put the T back into Reeex.
X back into,
X back into,
X back into Heeeeeeuuuaaahhhh...

Specimen's best song!
OctozoidPRS
This song moves along with a beat and force like a freight train on methedrine. I also think it is their work at its best.
