In The Beginning (Live Anthology 1977-81)
Remastered and repackaged in a 6-panel card sleeve, the 15-track album. Three exclusive songs. Guest vocals by Nina Hagen and Neneh Cherry. Notes by Mick Mercer. Extra photos as seen on the RSD 2LP. From punk to dub eras. The album spans from an early, chaotic punk-era show which includes classics such as Shoplifting, Newtown and Love & Romance. It shows how they evolved into their dubby, reggae-influenced style with songs such as Typical Girls, and finishes with a track from their last ever performance in 1981. Over its fifteen tracks it features three songs never otherwise recorded*, and guest vocals from Nina Hagen and Neneh Cherry. The new 6-panel all-card sleeve includes updated notes from Mick Mercer and previously unseen live and at home photos.
Tracks 1-7 Live at Dingwalls, London 1977; 8 live in rehearsal; 9-14 Live in Cincinnati & San Francisco 1980; 15 Live at Hammersmith Palais, Dec. 1981 (last ever show).
