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.

Sadistic Exploits 'zine (Philadelphia)

Here's two issues of the one sheet 'zine that the band Sadistic Exploits used to give out at gigs. Both issues are from 1984.

Issue #7  has band statements, lyrics and artwork
Issue  #8 has band statements, lyrics, art, letters and quotes

Alternative 'zine #4 1981 (Philadelphia)

Here is issue #4 of the Alternative fanzine from Philadelphia. Even though it says December 1984 on the cover this issue is actually from December 1981. This zine was put together by members of the bands Decontrol and Autistic Behavior plus a couple friends. In this issue are articles on Sadistic Exploits, Decontrol, the 1981 Philly Punk Fests, scene news and reviews. 6 Pages.

Sham 69 - Live shows 1979 + 1980

In 1979, after much visa problems, Sham 69 finally played two shows in the USA, one in New York and the other in Los Angeles.  Here is the New York show as recorded from the audience by the legendary Donnie The Punk. It's rough on quality and the right channel drops out half way through but it sounds like it was a great gig and well anticipated. The Stockholm show is from a Swedish Radio broadcast that was recorded not too long before the split up and is great quality.
