Seperates has been amongst my music collection since it's release back in the late 70's. Why Cash, Days, Watson and Labritan did not go on to become household names is beyond me. 999 even today are still reknowned for their formidable live set. With songs like Homocide, Lets Face It and Feelin' Alright With The Crew they successfully managed to blend the true spirit and energy of 70's punk/new wave with catchy guitar rock that still carries through today. This album deserves some serious respect...buy it!!

Great 70's UK punk band at their best
6 Jan 2010
Format:Audio CD
It would be hard for me to decide on a favorite 999 LP. It's either the self-titled debut or this one... Separates. The songwriting is top-notch. The two-guitar interplay rivals The Clash. Nick Cash really knows how to spazz out vocally at the end of a song (maybe something picked up from Joe Strummer?) In fact, you could say that 999 took The Clash's brand of punk rock and put their own twist on it. The same guitar dynamic (clean Telecaster/dirty Gibson) exists, as does the flirtation with reggae. However, 999 have a little bit more of a "new wave" sound to them. This helps to keep them from sounding like too much of a copy job. Any fan of early UK punk should give this record a try. Don't be put off if you think Homicide is just "okay". It's not the strongest song on the album. Most well-known, yes... but far from the best.

There's a place I used to go
29 Sep 2010
Format:Audio CD
Homicide is just the larkiest first song to listen to right after you've given up smoking. I myself have deliberately gone back on the zimbaginis--or bacons, as we somewhat inexplicably used to call 'em--countless times just so I could give them up again and listen to this electric and friendly number. The rest of this vintage little platter of punkish pop on the other hand is I'd have to say a smoker's dream: two parts crispy to one part crunchy, as was the style in those days. I think it might have been the late seventies--I bought this album when records were big bendable plastic affairs and smokes cost upwards of a few bob. It's funny and gratifying to me in any case how Separates still sounds so farking good. Turn up the past, that's my current advice.
