The band’s debut album, Crossing the Red Sea was released by Bright on 17 February 1978. It has since become one of the most highly regarded albums of the punk era, with Dave Thompson calling it “a devastating debut, one of the finest albums not only of the punk era, but of the 1970s as a whole”, Trouser Press calling it “the equal of the first Sex Pistols or Clash LP, a hasty statement that captures an exciting time”, and several other writers including it in lists of all-time greatest albums.
