Reviews & Opinions

RED STARR, SMASH HITS FEB 21-MAR 5, 1980: 999 will never succeed while they insist on bludgeoning and yelling - one is a skinhead, nuff said - their way through otherwise potentially nifty tunes and guitar sound. Excitement and energy are one thing but this crude Headbanging-For-The-Under-Fives only makes their songs impossible to remember. Best tracks: 'Trouble', 'Biggest Prize In Sport'. (5 out of 10).

Additional Notes

For CD buyers this is best heard on The Biggest Tour In Sport / The Biggest Prize In Sport, which is remastered.
