Musician magazine; Issue 34; July 1981

Musician magazine wasn't much of a magazine to read for Punk Rock. However, when Los Angeles Punk in 1981 became raw and controversial and was being talked about they printed an article about what was going on. This issue has a few other things that might be of interest to Punks.

In this issue:
-article on IRS Records
-article on Dave Edmunds
-short articles on Adam & The Ants, Ventures, U2
-Music and Violence Under The Palm Trees; article on L.A. Punk
-Record reviews - Dave Edmunds, Public Image Ltd.,
-Short Takes - Devo, Plastics, Cramps, Vapors, John Cale, Tuxedo Moon, Killing Joke

Adverts - Top Rank, Sheffield 8-19-79

This one is upped by request. I love the Adverts so certainly don't mind posting this for everyone that wants it. This show is especially interesting for two reasons. One is that they play most of the songs from the second album and the songs from the first album they play have the addition of keyboards. So, can you imagine what Gary Gilmore's Eyes sounds like with keyboards? It is a little different but I like it. The second reason is that there is no guitarist at all on this show. They play with just bass, drums, keyboards, vocals. I don't think you'll hear the Adverts sound like this anywhere else. Still sounds like a good show. It was recorded from the audience so sounds not perfect but surely worth a listen just to hear these songs in a slightly different way.

setlist:
01. The Adverts
02. Back From The Dead
03. Male Assault
04. Fate Of Criminals
05. I Looked At The Sun
06. Television's Over
07. I Surrender
08. Bombsite Boy
09. New Church
10. Love Songs
11. Gary Gilmore's Eyes
12. No Time To Be 21
13. My Place
14. Cast Of Thousands
15. I Will Walk You Home
16. One Chord Wonders
17. The Adverts

Adverts - Live shows 1978

Here's three live Adverts shows from 1978. These shows are interesting because they are playing six new songs written after the first album, some of which would, in slightly different versions, end up on the second album. These were all recorded from the audience so the sound is raw. The Marquee has the best sound of the three despite some serious tape hiss.
