999 - Emergency At the Old Waldorf 1979 LP

RUBY RED VINYL

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. A must have for punk rock fans and collectors.
