Adam & The Ants - demos, part 1; 1977

Adam & The Ants formed in 1977 but only release their first single in 1978. In 1977 they recorded some excellent demos which mostly remain unreleased to this day. A few of these songs ended up being re-recorded for b-sides in the early 1980s. Quality is great on both these demos.

999 - Vortex '77, Peel '78 + OGWT '78

By request here's some 999. On the Vortex show 999 played with Art Attacks, Now and The Flies. It was recorded from the audience so sound quality is not perfect but is listenable. The quality on the Peel and OGWT are very good.
