Customer Reviews

great first two lps
Anyone starting with 999 after 31 years can't go wrong with this cd gives the first two releases a full airing and shows 999 at their best, from here you can jump on to Death in Soho, Takeover and dancing in the wrong shoes and if you can get hold of it You Us It

If you love 999, buy this!
How this takes me back! As a childhood punk (well, lifetime punk in spirit!) I used to listen to both these albums endlessly. As happens to us old punks, we have to give in and buy our beloved vinyl treasures on cd or other digital means these days to keep up with the times;-) This cd is amazing value, and, unlike some other old favourites, the songs appear to have stood the test of time. Homicide and Emergency are two of the greatest songs of their era and still sound brilliant in 2007. If you don't know 999 (maybe too young to remember them) they were hard to classify. If you look at the covers and the very strange dress sense, you might wonder why people refer to them as a punk band. They're not in the mould of the Pistols, SLF, Clash etc, but they have their own sound that endures. Not sure about some of their later albums, though... don't think I'll be buying them again on cd... but this bargain compilation of 2 of their best albums is a must-have.

Wicked Punk at its Finest
This is a quite good album from 999, probably one of the best considering it is a 2-lp collection on 1 cd. I highly reccommend this album for anyone into early UK punk at its best.
