WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
1977: the year British punk rockers signed their name on history - and the Adverts made sure to sign theirs in indelible ink. These 12 furious tracks recorded at the legendary Roxy just months after the band had signed to Stiff, are one of punk rock’s finest hours. The sound quality of this live performance may not be as clean as that on their Crossing The Red Sea album, but they have a raw energy that no studio recording could ever achieve. As TV Smith snarls through track after track of sheer punk rock intensity - from their anthem “One Chord Wonders” to Top 20 hit “Gary Gilmore’s Eyes”- you get the feeling that this night at the Roxy must have been like the Haley’s Comet - it only comes round once in a lifetime.
