Jet13 Records is proud to present a limited edition 7" single 666 Yeah from the punk legend UK SUBS.

Celebrating the 30 years of punk together with continuing their constant touring, playing to the new generations of nations' disaffected punk youth (who were perhaps first SUB verted aged 5 when watching Charlie and co. appearing on the British TV show, Top of The Pops!).

The songs were recorded on 06.06.2006 with the current UK line-up Charlie Harper, Brian Barnes, Jamie Oliver and Jet.

You can hear a short but definitely strong Charlie Harper's blues influenced harmonica solo on side A "666 Yeah", alongside 1min 34secs fast, furious and loud "Straighten Out" on side B which shows the band is still going strong.

An amazing 200+ gigs a year, and after the worldwide touring for 3 decades, they maintain and pioneer the true spirit of punk rock, without compromising and watering down that affected so many of their contemporaries.

Pressed on red transparent wax and handnumbered to 1000 copies. A must have item for your record collection!

He may be in his sixties but the grandfather of punk, Charlie Harper, and his Subs still know how to throw a punk rock party! While the lead track in an MC5 influenced slice of blues punk, b-side 'Straighten Out' rocks just like The Subs did back in the '70s. This kicks the shit out of most things claiming to be punk these days.

London based punk legends the UK Subs crank up the evil on this transparent (blood?) red 7” single, which was recorded on that most unholy of dates 06.06.06.
After more than thirty years of worldwide touring (200+ gigs a year!), UK Subs frontman Charlie Harper operates a revolving door line-up to keep things fresh, and an endless stream of musicians have come and gone since the days when the Subs recorded tracks such as ‘Stranglehold’ and ‘Down on The Farm’(the latter famously covered by Guns n’ Roses on their ‘Spaghetti Incident’ album ? and hey, perhaps these days Axl is attempting to emulate Harper with his approach to line-up changes).
This incarnation of the UK Subs includes Japanese guitarist Jet, previously with Sonic Boom Boys and The Parkinsons, who also happens to be head honcho of Jet 13 records, the label behind this disk. Although not a great departure from the ‘classic’ UK Subs style, Jets’ guitar playing creates a slightly more ‘punk n’ roll’ sound, suggesting that this could also appeal to a slightly broader audience than previous offerings. The artwork too is a bit of a change for the Subs, featuring a rock n’ roll looking red devil and ace of spades motif as opposed to the Xerox anarchist stylings of old. The whole package is great quality, including nice glossy cardboard sleeve (featuring the above mentioned artwork), and also an inner sleeve to protect the rockin’ red vinyl disk.
So stick this slab of wax on the turntable and you get a pounding rocker of an A-side featuring a quick harmonica solo from Charlie (who maintains that punk is a form of blues music), then flip this sucker over for a quick one-minute-and-thirty-four-second blast of fast and furious uncompromising punk rock that will scorch the grease from your ears.
This is one of the best singles I’ve heard from UK Subs, who are one of the greatest bands to have emerged from the British punk boom of the late 1970s/early 1980s, and continue to be a great band to this day, both on stage, and also in the studio based on this evidence.

Die auf 1.000 Stück limitierte, handnummerierte Single "666 Yeah" von U.K. SUBS kommt im knallroten Gewand und bietet zweimal schnellen, wütenden und lauten Punkrock. Charlie Harper ist seit über 30 Jahren in Sachen Punkrock unterwegs und mit über zweihundert Gigs im Jahr kein bisschen müde. Bei "666 Yeah" holt er sogar wieder seine Mundharmonika, für ein kleines Solo, hervor. Der zweite Song auf der B-Seite, "Straighten out" (dies ist kein STRANGLERS-Cover), kommt auch gut ohne Mundharmonika aus, denn bei 1:34 Länge muss auch ein Routinier wie Good Old Charlie Abstriche machen. Aufgenommen wurden beide Stücke am 06.06.2006 im aktuellen U.K.-Line-up: Charlie Harper, Brian Barnes, Jamie Oliver und Jet.

For a detailed overview of this legendary British Punk band, please visit their website uksubs.com. For our purposes, let's remember that the band centered around mainstay Charlie Harper first got its name somewhere in 1977, and that they've been releasing albums (both studio and live) on quite a regular basis over the last 30 years. The millenium has however seemed to slow down the band somewhat. Plenty of re-issues (oft under new album titles and alternate cover art), but the last studio album dates back to 2002's Universal (released through Captain Oi! ). It was followed by the live Staffordshire Ball in 2003 (on Invisible Hands Music ), but as far as I can gather, that was the last. The band has however continued to stay active at the live front throughout, still doin' some 200 gigs per year.
This new and limited edition 7" vinyl single (only 1000 handnumbered copies on transparent red vinyl) should be the perfect advertisement for a new full-length (at least I hope so), and the two short songs (lasting only 204 seconds together) are the best evidence of the fact that even after 30 years, Charlie stays true to the real spirit of Punk Rock, both lyrically and musically! The title song gets its nomenclature from the single having been recorded on the 6 th of June last year (06/06/06), with a line-up of Charlie (vocals and some harmonica in the title song), Jet (guitar), Brian Barnes (bass), and Jamie Oliver (obviously not the popular cook by the name, on drums).
A line-up which will be slightly different if you happen to catch 'em on tour during February (they're at the Lintfabriek on the 16 th ), as Brian and Jet have been exchanged for Nicky & Alvin (not sure if that's respectively). No matter what, and with whatever band backed him up, Charlie has always been the perfect host for a nice evening of Punk Rockin', the oldfashioned way!

Who are these young whippersnappers that are grinding out some prime rock and roll? It the fuckin’ Subs maaaaaan. No way maaaaaan. It bloody well is as well. The UK Subs, with 666Yeah, manage to easily hit a target between the Stooges and MC5, while still clinging to their UK punk credentials with ease. This is quite simply the dogs bollocks. If this is the direction the UK Subs are heading in then I’m hitching a ride on their wagon. It’s fresh, raw and the polar opposite from the jaded and tired pish that a lot of their peers are trundling out. Flip it over and we get a more traditional Subs song, but even Straighten Out sounds like it has Charlie with one hand on the mike and the other jammed into the mains socket. This has blown me away. Whatever Charlie and the rest of the guys are on. I want some.
