Sham 69 – United: The Punk Anthems Recorded Live 1978 & 1979

Description

Formed in Hersham, Surrey, in 1975 and fronted by the charismatic Jimmy Pursey, the band quickly became known for their raw street energy and football terrace- style anthems that captured the voice of working-class youth in late 1970s Britain.
This powerful collection brings together many of Sham 69’s most iconic recordings, including punk classics such as “If The Kids Are United,” “Hurry Up Harry,” “Borstal
Breakout,” “Angels With Dirty Faces,” and “Hersham Boys.” Packed with sing- along choruses, sharp social commentary and the band’s unmistakable street-punk sound, these tracks helped define the spirit of the era and cement Sham 69’s place in punk history.
With their direct, anthemic style and loyal fanbase, Sham 69 remain one of the most enduring names in British punk rock.
