Catalog Number: LIB5150 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 89353515027 Rare live set capturing the legendary UK punk band 999 at The Old Waldorf in San Francisco on July 2, 1979 One of the original early UK punk bands, 999 formed in London in December of 1976. Formed by lead singer Nick Cash (of pub rockers Kilburn and the High Roads) and guitarist brother Guy Days, the group were intact into the mid-1980s with band members Jon Watson on bass and Pablo LaBritain on drums. They're best known for their pop-punk classic tracks "Homicide," "I'm Alive," "Nasty Nasty," and "Emergency," which was voted one of the all-time best punk singles by Mojo magazine. The band toured the world throughout the late 1970s, making their way to the US on tours in 1978 and '79. On the 1979 tour they came through California, playing the famed Old Waldorf on July 2. That show was captured and recorded by KALX DJ and engineer Terry Hammer. The seventeen-track set makes its official release debut here with eleven on vinyl. Included are all of the band's best-known tracks at the usual fast-paced energetic style that 999 is most known for. The package includes liner notes from front man Nick Cash with rare photos from the time period. The vinyl version is pressed on limited edition colour variant. A must have for punk rock fans and collectors. The band will be touring the UK beginning on October 17, and throughout November and December!
