After two marvelous collections with United Artists, the young men in 999 marked an arrangement with Polydor and discharged what is presently considered as their finest
full length LP, While still a "punk" band, 999 were conceived amid the pub scene and had more meat on their musical bones than most punks, and as opposed to dismissing from their punk sound, they basically refined it. Upon first listening to this collection, numerous people were flabbergasted to figure out that 999 were an incredible rock n move band, punk or no punk. The edges are still there, however they are all the more balanced this time out on account of maker Vic Maile. The anthemic "Young men In The Gang" begins off the set in style (however 999 dependably knew how to kickstart a collection). "Back to front", with Guy Days' wound guitar riff, grabs the pace. In spite of the fact that "Inconvenience" eases things off with its reggae section, its such an extraordinary change of pace (Nick Cash's wail
sounds like the Specials' Terry Hall on this track). "Fun Thing" has an extraordinary little snare and a compelling guitar solo that will get you by the balls. "Hollywood", about their first excursion to California, got strong airplay in the U.s., and has remained a 999 excellent following the time when. "Stop! Stop!" is a bouncy little bubblegum punk piece. Essentially every track a fantastic, Anagram's 1995 reissue includes three reward trax, making this an unquestionable requirement have for anybody intrigued by the punk and new wave scene of the late '70s and early '80s.
