999

Nothing fancy to report today, just a crucial four song Peel Sessions recording from London's 999. "Soldier" and "Let's Face It" were new, unreleased tracks when this was broadcast in early 1978. This guy's only complaint is that whomever recorded this shit off the radio (or transferred the recording to fellow tape traders somewhere down the line) cut off Sir Peel's voice between songs. 999 has always seemed like a second tier UK punk band to me, but their output condensed down to just the best stuff is formidable - and some of the best stuff is right here.

For more 999, there's a burner live set from 1977 over at Escape Is Terminal.
