THE ADVERTS Crossing The Red Sea... 1978 UK BRIGHT RECORDS MINT-
FROM A COLLECTION OF PUNK LPs I AM CURRENTLY LISTING
THE ADVERTSCrossing The Red Sea With The Adverts
UK BRIGHT RECORDS (BRL 201) FIRST PRESSING (February 1978) OF THE ADVERT'S DEBUT LP
This is one record from a small collection of punk/post punk albums I will be listing over the coming days.
All are from the same owner who played them once to tape then carefully stored them away where they have remained untouched ever since.
All are original issues and many still retain their original shop shrink-wrapping.
This is a fantastic collection - all essentially as-new and will be listed as MINT(-) rather than MINT as they have been played (albeit once)
All have been play-checked and sound flawless with no imperfections of any kind
*In response to numerous questions all the records in this collection play MINT (unless stated otherwise and are only given a MINT(-) as they have been played once)
VINYL: MINT-
SLEEVE: MINT-
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE RED BRIGHT LABELS
MATRIX: BRL - 201 - A-1 / BRL - 201 - B-1
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MATT SLEEVE (in the original shrink-wrap with original prices stickers - on the wrap not the sleeve) PRINTED BY "Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd."
A devastating debut, one of the finest albums not only of the punk era, but of the 1970s as a whole, Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts was the summation of a year's worth of gigging, honing a repertoire that -- jagged, jarring, and frequently underplayed though it was -- nevertheless bristled with hits, both commercial and cultural.
"No Time to Be 21," "One Chord Wonders," and "Bored Teenagers" were already established among the most potent rallying cries of the entire new wave, catch phrases for a generation that had no time for anthems; "Bombsite Boy," "Safety in Numbers," and "Great British Mistake" offered salvation to the movement's disaffected hordes; and the whole thing was cut with such numbingly widescreen energy that, even with the volume down, it still shakes the foundations.
