999 - The Albums 1977-80

A 59 track compilation, this four CD box set gathers together all of punk legends 999’s releases between 1977 and 1980.

Disc one 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 three and it features the Trouble 45.

Disc four 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.
