Title: One of punk's best live sets
Product review: Let's face facts: punk rock is not a genre for good live albums. There are rare exceptions: MC5's "Jams", Iggy's "Live At the Channel 88", Viletones' "Saturday Night Sunday Morning", boots of the Pistols' Winterland swansong and this CHORDS set. Recorded in 1980 (but not released until 86) this album shows this great Mod band to have been exciting before an audience. In the studio the Chords recalled the Clash crossed with the Jam but live they were faster, looser, cruder & better. Best songs: "something's missing", "happy families", "British way of life", "tumbelling down", and "maybe tommorow" (their best single).
