The Adverts: Live at The Marquee, 1978



Here's a good -sounding bootleg that captures The Adverts (more HERE) in all their one-chord-wonderfulness. As the set list below indicates, this 1978 bootleg comes from an intriguing juncture in their history - right between the punkier Crossing the Red Sea and the artier Cast of Thousands. Enjoy!

    How many Advert fans are Advert fans because they had a teenage crush on the Joan Jett lookalike?

    Just a thought... ;)
    (yes, I am still trying to understand.)

      We do all love Ms. Advert (as does TV!) but it's the songs that compel.

    Love The Adverts. There was a great documentary about them in the recent BBC4 punk'jubilee' season. I parted ways with them after the (brilliant)first album, caught up with TV Smith's Explorers and had forgotten that they'd 'gone prog'with the critically-panned second LP. Any chance of posting the 'Cast of Thousands' album?

      CoT is still in-print and comes highly recommended. That said, we will have some live boots from that era coming up.
