"Despite recent efforts, the late 1970s remains Wire's most fondly remembered period. During this time, the band crafted a trio of albums that left fans and commentators breathless. However, live releases were conspicuous by their absence; until now, the only 1970s Wire gigs available were bootleg recordings. Wire on the box: 1979 is the first of PinkFlag's 'archive research' releases, which is a fancy way of saying 'old stuff repackaged'. This particular set provides us with a newly restored and remastered edition of Wire's infamous Rockpalast performance—the only surviving 1970s Wire television appearance of any real interest."
