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.

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.

Killjoys - Raw session, Rehearsal, Peel Sessions 1977-1978

The Killjoys were from Birmingham England and in 1977 released a classic Punk single on Raw Records. Only one other song was officially released before they split up in mid-1978. They existed for a little over a year. In that time they also managed to record two John Peel Sessions. The Raw Records session here is the one the single came from but I think these are different mixes and there is talking between songs by the engineer and the band. The rehearsal tape gives us a few extra songs that haven't been heard much before.

Stranglers - Demos + Live 1974-1978

By request here are some Stranglers demos, and I've topped the post off with an early 1977 live show. Three songs - Wasted, Strange Little Girl, My Young Dreams (different recording than what's here) from the 1974 demo have been officially released on the The Early Years 74-75-76 Rare Live & Unreleased CD so I didn't include them here. Hans Wärmling also plays guitar on these songs. The quality of all the demos is very good. The live show was recorded from the audience and is a bit raw but listenable.
