Sham 69 - Tell Us The Truth - Limited 180-Gram Translucent Red Colored Vinyl - VINYL LP

The first wave of British punk was overrun with smart kids from upper-class backgrounds playacting at being working-class yobs. Sham 69 was different; every bit as thick-headed and provincial as the band sounded, they took a perversely populist pride in it's lack of musical or intellectual sophistication, just like The Exploited and Anti-Nowhere League. Side one of Tell Us The Truth was recorded live, and it perfectly captured the Cockney vibe, complete with football chants and a spontaneous chorus of InchKnees Up, Mother Brown.Inch Frontman Jimmy Pursey's banter with the audience is impressive, and all the songs are brimmed with straight-ahead live energy. The studio side is a template for brash UK punk rock snotty, in-your-face, fast and loud. Tell Us The Truth is now available on 1000 individually numbered copies on red vinyl. Album Tracks 1.
