999 – The Biggest Prize In Sport (Vinyl, LP, Album, PRC Pressing, 1980, Polydor)

Why This Record Matters
The Biggest Prize In Sport is the third studio album by English punk band 999 and reached No. 177 on the Billboard 200. Produced by Vic Maile, it blends the band’s first-wave punk attack with tighter new wave hooks across “Hollywood,” “Trouble,” “Boys In The Gang,” and the title track.
