Description
Strictly limited edition coloured vinyl 7 inch ep, number 486 of 500. Mint and unplayed.
From the Time and Matter website:
"This superbly and lovingly designed four track 7" single sees these essential demo recordings officially released on vinyl for the very first time.
After an original 1977 demo tape was initially lent to T&M; by agreement the four tracks were firstly added as the bonus tracks on the Captain Oi! re-issue of 'Live Kicks' on CD, enabling a vinyl issue for Time & Matter Records, to complement the first summer 1977 demo 7" release.
Featuring the U.K. Subs line up that appeared on the (in)famous 'Live Kicks' LP recording:
CHARLIE HARPER - vocals/harmonica, NICKY GARRATT - guitar,
STEVE SLACK - bass & RORY LYONS - drums...
...Nicky Garratt "was impressed" when he heard the band's aforementioned original summer 1977 demo before deciding on joining the U.K. Subs in October 1977, and thus, by T&M putting these demos out on vinyl back-to-back, you can hear the progress the band made in such a short period of time between the two recordings and line-ups. These four 'classic' early Subs songs were intended for gig-getting purposes and copied on to home-made cassettes with covers giving Charlie's telephone numbers (pardon the pun!). You can read all the original cassette information and details, along with the history of how the cassette came into the hands of Dave Burdon, a massive Subs collector, on the inner sleeve, with the additional bonus of an insert also being included, featuring a previously unpublished 1977 U.K. Subs on stage at the Roxy Club in London photo from Nicky Garratt's own archive, as well as high quality photos of the original demo tape, taken by a professional photographer.
What more could a Subs vinyl junkie wish for?
This release is strictly limited to 500 hand numbered copies on 7" dual blue coloured vinyl, and is issued in a classy matt finished sleeve as well as an inner sleeve boasting exclusive newly commissioned liner notes from Nicky Garratt."
