I love this era from 999. The 4 singles on the CD, Lil Red Riding Hood, Indian Reservation, Wild Sun & Obsessed are top quality.

I've been trying for a while to get 13th Floor Madness on CD (the album after Concrete) & saw it recently on Amazon so I'll have to get hold of that. You don't have it by any chance?

Paul
I'm also a massive 999 fan and thought 'Concrete' was excellent. In fact at this point in their career I thought they may have gone on to greater things.

However I thought '13th Floor Madness' was a big disappointment. Took me a while to track a copy down. Don't even think it had a U.K. release originally. (maybe wrong there but there was little promotion, if any, for it over here)

Worse to come was 'Face To Face' a few years later. Abysmal! Somewhere along the line 999 completely lost the plot.

On a more positive note I have the more recent 'You,Us, It!' & 'Takeover' both of which are quite good albums. Albeit they are back in "shouty" mode :grin:

You can't beat the 1st 4 999 albums though imho.

Alternating between the following (on shuffle on my CD player)

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I am...
The Rakes - Capture/Release
The Futureheads
We Are Scientists - ..Squalor
Franz Ferdinand - It Could Have Been...

Jam - Direction...(5CD box set) - after recent thread regarding Weller!!!

Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
Ramones - Anthology 2CD
Clash
Ruts - Something That I Said (Best Of..)
Damned - Smash It Up Anthology (CD1)

However, again after reading recent thread, I think The Who - 30 Years of Maximum R'n'B maybe getting a dust off!!!

I remember buying "You Us It" after their blinding Fontwell performance. Another quality album. What`s their new stuff like?

Re-999

'Takeover' was released about 7-8 years ago so can't really be viewed as 'new' material. I reckon it's better than 'You,Us,It!' although it suffers from poor production. Sounds like a set of demos actually, could do with the more polished sound of 'Y U I'. Deffo worth a listen.

Don't think there has been any newer stuff since 'Takeover' - and there was nothing new in the set I caught @ Nottingham last December.

I've bought a couple of 'demo' albums in recent years both of which consist of un-released tracks and early versions of released songs namely:

'Outburst' - Highly recommended.
'Slam' - Don't bother! Sound quality is awful.

I have Slam - don`t mind it - I love the demos like Scandel In The City and No Prisoners.

Noticed Outburst the other day. I`ll be investing then.

Ever since Mr Hillier posted about Alabama-3 I haven't been able to stop listening to them. Have now moved on to their lead singer's solo album:

Robert (Larry) Love - Ghost Flight

Tried Killing Joke's new single, but am in a mellow mood, which it totally destroyed ! Much prefer KJ when JC doesn't scream !
