Description
Sham 69 were the real thing ... no art school posturing, no middle-class pretence.
"Tell Us The Truth", their 1977 debut, is raw, unfiltered working-class British Oi! punk at its most authentic, and this pressing captures both sides of what made them essential.
Side one is recorded live. A visceral document of Cockney energy complete with football chants, crowd banter from frontman Jimmy Pursey, and a spontaneous chorus of "Knees Up, Mother Brown."
Side two delivers the studio template: snotty, fast, loud, and completely in-your-face.
Think The Exploited and Anti-Nowhere League, but with more heart.
Now available on 1,000 individually numbered copies on red vinyl.
A landmark of UK Oi! punk, finally on a collector's pressing worthy of its status.
