15 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 The sleeve features previously unpublished striking black and white photographs by Brendan Jackson of the band.

The 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 . Guesting 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. Their 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. This 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.
