United The Punk Anthems Recorded Live 1978 Et 1979

Description

Sham 69 was one of the most important and influential bands of the first British punk wave. Formed in Hersham, Surrey, in 1975 and led by the charismatic Jimmy Pursey, the band quickly became known for their raw energy and football terrace anthems, true spokespeople for British working-class youth in the late 1970s. This hard-hitting compilation brings together several of Sham 69's most iconic tracks, including punk classics such as "If The Kids Are United", "Hurry Up Harry", "Borstal Breakout", "Angels With Dirty Faces" and "Hersham Boys". With their catchy choruses, incisive social critiques and the band's unmistakable street-punk sound, these songs helped define the spirit of the era and cement Sham 69's place in punk history. Thanks to their direct and unifying style and their loyal fans, Sham 69 remains one of the most iconic names in British punk rock.
