"One of the original early UK punk bands, 999 formed in London in December of 1976. Formed by lead singer Nick Cash (of pub rockers Kilburn and the High Roads) and guitarist brother Guy Days, the group were intact into the mid-1980s with band members Jon Watson on bass and Pablo LaBritain on drums. They're best known for their pop-punk classic tracks 'Homicide,' 'I'm Alive,' 'Nasty Nasty,' and 'Emergency,' which was voted one of the all-time best punk singles by Mojo magazine. The band toured the world throughout the later 1970s, making their way to the US on tours in 1978 and '79. On the 1979 tour they came through California, playing the famed Old Waldorf on July 2. That show was captured and recorded by KALX DJ and engineer Terry Hammer. The seventeen-track set makes its official release debut here with eleven on vinyl. Included are all of the band's best-known tracks at the usual fast-paced energetic style that 999 is most known for. The package includes liner notes from front man Nick Cash with rare photos from the time period. A must have for punk rock fans and collectors."

Reissue, originally released in 1980. Launched in London in December 1976, punk stalwarts 999 are one of the most successful and long-lasting acts of the upstart movement. Third studio album The Biggest Prize In Sport was their first for Polydor, the band's competency at a peak, despite the temporary appearance of fanboy drummer Ed Case, drafted in from the Southall Crew supporters when Pablo LaBrittain broke his arm. Often ranked as the greatest album of their entire career, The Biggest Prize In Sport had noticeably smoother edges than their earlier work, yet still holding plenty of bite, the combination pushing it into the Billboard top 200 in the USA. Unmissable! Color vinyl.

Spittle Records present a reissue of 999's The Biggest Tour In Sport, originally released in 1980. Formed in London in 1976, at the dawn of punk explosion, and still going strong to this day, 999 are one of UK's finest punk-rock bands of all-time, and certainly one of the longest-lived ones on the scene. Intended to capture the band on their extensive 1980 US tour, producer Vic Maile was flown to NYC to record a show in Long Island. Unfortunately, the tapes supplied didn't fit the recording unit and so in order to save the already scheduled release, recordings from an earlier London gig were used instead! First released in the US in November 1980, The Biggest Tour In Sport consists of six songs capturing the band's live excitement in performing several of their hits such as "Homicide", "Emergency", and "Feeling Alright with Crew".

Interference present 999's Live & Loud, originally released in 1995 as a split live compilation with Sham 69. 999 kicked off 1977 with I'm Alive and Nasty, Nasty, two notoriously riotous singles that would establish them, alongside a handful of others, in the shadow of the Pistols, Clash, and The Damned. Nick Cash and Guy Days had unknowingly already made it into the history books, but there was much more to come in Homicide (1978), Me And My Desire (1978), Emergency (1978), and The Biggest Prize In Sport (1979). The live recordings within are assured reminders of a vitally important British punk band in their early prime with explosive versions of tracks from their first three albums from 1978-1979. Singles such as Feelin' Alright With The Crew (1978) and Hollywood (1980) clash perfectly with selected album tracks that collectively recall a halcyon period for British youth culture and its soundtrack.
