I was going to post this as a review, but it was refused, probably because it is too honest and critical.

Wire has been one of the most influential bands of the British new wave of the 1970´s and to a certain degree their impact on the avant-pop music of today may still be considered somewhat significant. Their first three albums on Harvest are often reissued classics and their tracks on EMI´s Live At The Roxy in 1977 LP maintained their status of a London punk legend for a very long time.
Further recordings of their gig at The Roxy were kept unreleased until the release of the CD "Behind The Curtain" in 1995 by EMI, UK. This CD actually seems to have been used as the source for the tracks on this vinyl bootleg.
The first six tracks on Side One have vintage Wire playing live at The Roxy in 1977 including a rough version of J.J. Cale´s "After Midnight." Unfortunately the two tracks included on The Live At The Roxy LP, "Lowdown" and "1-2-XU" are missing on this record which is a little shame since "1-2-XU" had become an acknowledged punk classic since then.
15 more tracks, all demo versions of songs recorded in 1978 that only half of can be found on the first three Wire albums with the rest having been rare and exclusive until the release of the various compilation and live box sets by Pinkflag between 2004 and 2006.
"Dot Dash"/"Options R" and "Question Of Degree"/"Former Airline" were originally released as singles on the Harvest label, "Pink Flag", "Two People In A Room", "Map Ref. 41 N 93 W" and "Sand In My Joints" appeared on either of their three albums while the remaining seven songs on this album are still exclusive to the vinyl format.
But regarding the total of 25 recordings on the source CD including more unreleased songs, it might have been a better idea to fill collectors´ demands by featuring more of the unreleased songs instead of those already known to the public.
Anyway, the sound is great and the front cover art fits right into the Hipgnosis-Harvest gallery of Kitsch. And don´t let discogs apes fool you, this is no original Harvest record, but a fine piece of fake art. Harvest SHSP 4085 was used for Kevin Ayers "Rainbow Takeaway" album in 1978.
OK, but don´t pay more than 50p.

This was accepted as a review, just no apostrophes seemed allowed.

If there's any good reason to buy vinyl bootlegs in the age of DSL-internet, then this album surely isn't.
It came out in Europe in 2001 and several editions of it were issued with color variations of the sleeve and the vinyl.
The cover of my copy has green lettering, but I've also seen combinations of yellow, orange and magenta ones.
The record collects most of the bonus tracks that were made available through the Rhino/Warner Archives series of expanded & remastered CDs of the first four Ramones albums, except Leave Home which didnt have any worthwile bonus tracks on it.
The demo tracks on side one here are from 1976 and 1977 and except for A4 and A6 were released on the regular albums and A10 had been the B-side of a UK only single.
Side two, tracks 1 and 2 are different versions of tracks featured on the "Hey Ho Lets Go" anthology (and Rock n Roll Highschool can be found on "End Of The Century" album in some version as well), while the live medley was the RAMONES contribution to the soundtrack of the same name in 1979. The album closes with two demo tracks of which B4 had never been released before and B5 appearing on the "All That Stuff (And More)" compilation.
The sound quality however is fine, yet the cover artwork looks like some messed up web page with very primitve HTML-styled layout and crude orthographical faults, like the listing of track 4 on Side B.
Maybe it was intended to make the buyers of this album feel sorry for it. The only good thing about it may be the fact that it should, but not might be easy to get as free download, blogwise or elsewhere.
