999 "Concrete" 1981

...The group's mainstream leanings spread further on 1981's Concrete, which also charted in the States but was not regarded well by fans or critics; while it was released in the United States and several other territories by Polydor, it appeared on Albion Records in the U.K. Albion also issued 1983's 13th Floor Madness, which found the group attempting to embrace the new romantic movement; it went unreleased in the United States and was poorly received in England...
...999 revived their Labritain label for 1985's Face to Face, a creative return to form. Not long after it was released, Jon Watson left the band, and Danny Palmer took over on bass for the 1986 tour documented on the live album Lust Power and Money. By the time the live LP came out in 1987, the group had broken up. In 1993, 999 re-formed, with original members Nick Cash, Guy Days, and Pablo LaBritain joined by bassist Arturo Bassick, who also worked with the Lurkers. This edition of the band quickly went into the recording studio, with the album You Us It! appearing that same year, steeped in straightforward punk rock. - by Mark Deming
