THE ADVERTSCrossing The Red Sea With The Adverts
UK BRIGHT RECORDS (BRL 201) FIRST PRESSING (February 1978) OF THE ADVERT'S DEBUT LP

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 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.
