Steve plays this 1978 punk classic in full introduced with a classic interview with T.V. Smith.

Crossing The Red Sea with The Adverts was the band's debut album, recorded at Abbey Road studios and featuring the tracks One Chord Wonders, No Time To Be 21 amongst others. Founded by T.V. Smith and bassist Gaye Advert then joined by guitarist Howard Boak and drummer Laurie Driver, the band were a formidable live act who toured with The Damned and Iggy Pop. Their debut album was a perfect storm, one of the finest punk albums of the decade and the only record the four would record together as the band had a line-up change soon after before disbanding after a disappointingly received second album.
