{"product_id":"live-1978-the-festival-suite-birmingham","title":"Live 1978 - The Festival Suite Birmingham","description":"\u003cp\u003e15 years ago a seminal Punk show was released on Caroline True on Limited CD. A universally critically acclaimed artefact of that vital time. Now, a remastered and improved limited vinyl edition with revisited artwork. The sleeve features previously unpublished striking black and white photographs by Brendan Jackson of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Prefects occupy a very special place in the rich heritage of UK Punk and Post-Punk music. Fronted by Robert Lloyd (later of The Nightingales) they were a primal blast of attitude and provocation .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuesting on the incendiary white-riot tour of 1977 with the Clash and the Subway Sect-the band were famously called “amateur wankers” by Clash manager Bernie Rhodes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir music was a melange of Krautrock, Beefheart, glam and the Pistols. All the things that PIL were to be later-the Prefects were there first-groundbreaking and unconsciously rewriting the rules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis remastered 1978 live set from the Co-Op Suite in Birmingham features all the classic Prefects moments, Faults, Barbarellas and Escort Girls, along with the addition of a live cover-Disco Stomp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caroline True","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50458625311051,"sku":"1153194","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/eba70e49-6361-4ca3-bf49-8f58e90a6b6a_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727212400","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/live-1978-the-festival-suite-birmingham","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
