Formed in 1976, legendary punk outfit Chelsea was assembled by the owners of the Acme Attractions boutique with Gene October as frontman; guitarist Billy Idol, bassist Tony James, and drummer John Towe soon split to form Generation X, but their loss was Chelsea's gain, with debut single "Right To Work" rated one of the best punk songs of all time. Though their self-titled debut LP didn't surface until 1979, when punk was waning, there is plenty to savor in October's forceful vocals and James Stevenson's powerful guitar licks, plus a plausible take of Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers To Cross." A punk classic, ripe for rediscovery!

RSD 2017 release. Interference present Chelsea's Live At The Bier Keller, a live set from Blackpool on December 8th, 1983 originally released on VHS in 1983. Presented here for the first time on vinyl. Chelsea were an integral part of the punk fabric in London in 1976/77. With Tony James, John Towe, and Billy Idol leaving to form Generation X, charismatic skipper Gene October eventually put together the classic line-up that would produce punk anthems such as "Right To Work", "Urban Kids", and "Evacuate". Missing out on the major label backing of their more famous counterparts, Chelsea continued to bring an explosive live set to iconic venues such as Blackpool's notorious Bier Keller where their undiminished, raw power was dished out with little regard for anyone standing in the way. A prime chunk of British punk with the complete live performance from London's original punk stalwarts Chelsea, live from the Bier Keller in Blackpool in 1983. Professionally remastered original sound recording with expansive liners, interviews, and rare archival photos. Comes on 180 gram light green colored vinyl; Comes in hand-numbered sleeve with an insert; Limited edition of 1000.
