(2-LP set) What you have here is not only a reissue of one of the greatest punk debuts of all time, but everything the Adverts ever recorded before setting of to work on their second album. Along with all 13 tracks recorded for 1978's Crossing the Red Sea (including a version of "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" originally intended for their US release and "New Day Dawning", which was held back for a single), this deluxe double LP also includes the band's first three singles, along with six tracks taken from a never-before-heard recording of a gig the Adverts played at the Roundhouse in London in early 1978 (headlining over Sham 69), with brand new drummer, John Towe (from Generation X). A tape of this recording was just recently discovered sitting in a box in John's house, so this is the first time it has ever been heard by the public! Also featuring printed inner sleeve with lyric sheet and comments by T.V. Smith and author Dave Thompson! Each page of the gatefold sleeve portraits a member of the band.
