Free Music Notes for Crossing the Red Sea

Free Music Review: An Early Punk Classic
Hit: 5 Stars

The Adverts released one perfect punk album, and another that wasn't very good. Then they broke up.

"Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts" has always been one of my favorite albums of early British punk, and comes very close to matching the classic debuts of the Pistols, Clash, and Stranglers. It's that good. This is the remastered "ultimate edition", with bonus singles and "live" tracks.

All their best singles are accounted for here: "One Chord Wonders", "Bored Teenagers", "Gary Gilmore's Eyes", and "No Time To Be 21". As much as I love these, my favorites are the less heralded album tracks "Bombsite Boy" and "Great British Mistake". Every song is good, but these 2 are stand-outs.

So I was confused when their follow-up album "Cast Of Thousands" didn't even have one good song. I had to buy Thousands again recently because it comes with a great bonus disc of all their "live" appearances on John Peel's radio show. This bonus CD is the same sought-after collectable previously called "The Wonders Don't Care".

They were an energetic and intelligent foursome - T.V. Smith was a good frontman and guitarist, and bassist Gaye Advert (later his wife) was one of the first girls to establish a punk "look". They toured a lot and opened for groups like the Damned and Generation X, but didn't achieve their level of acclaim. After disbanding, T.V. (Tim) Smith formed the Explorers, and still makes solo appearances. I stopped keeping up with him, so I don't know if he's good.

But I know at one time he was terrific, and "Crossing The Red Sea" proves it.
