Description
A 59 track 4 CD clam shell box set gathering together all of Punk legends 999’s releases between 1977-80.

Disc 1 features the debut “999” album which hit No.53 in the UK National Chart and includes the singles ‘Me And My Desire’ and ‘Emergency’.

The second disc has the “Separates” album from 1978 which featured the anthemic ‘Homicide’ (a UK No.40 hit single) and the band’s ode to their following, ‘Feelin’ Alright With The Crew’.

“The Biggest Prize In Sport” is on Disc 3 and it features the ‘Trouble’ 45.

Disc 4 is a 22 track round-up of non-LP A and B-sides and rare, compilation-only, cuts. Includes the Punk classic ‘Nasty! Nasty!’, the 7” versions of singles such as ‘I’m Alive’ and ‘No Pity’ plus the live mini LP “The Biggest Tour In Sport” from their mega coast to coast trek across America.

Each disc comes in a card wallet featuring a replica of the original LP artwork whilst the 20 page booklet contains detailed liner notes, lots of clippings, memorabilia and record sleeves from the era.

Still going strong to this day, some 40 odd years after forming and still featuring three quarters of their original line up!

Between Captain Oi! and Cherry Red, fans of late 70s-early 80s punk/new wave are gonna be spending a lot on these box sets this spring.

Captain Oi! became a subsidiary of Cherry Red a little while back, so it's all in the family now and we can expect many more WANderful box sets like this.

I'll be getting this! Thanks for the info on the label Linda, didn't know anything about them.

Captain Oi already did everything except the rarities CD by the looks of things.

The one that is hard to find now is 1981's Concrete, hopefully they reissue it in the future.
