Special thanks to Nick and Guy for making this album possible.
Culled from the private tape collections of the band this album captures 999 at their most interesting. On side 1 we have eight live tracks that, "Nasty Nasty" aside, have never made it on to the vinyl in a live form before. And besides, what 999 LP would be complete without the classic "Nasty Nasty"? Side 2 cointains the legendary studio demos that collectors have long dubbed "The Cellblock Tapes". Some later became fully fledged finished album track whilst other have never seen the light of day before. All of them, recorded in the band's rehearsal room, show how 999 have stayed true to their original ideas and sound. How many of your heroes can you say that about?
