It’s good to hear Sham 69 with the street- cred Pursey could never whip up. Impressive, too, is how eloquently Tim V places his finger on the pulse of what it’s like to be an outsider in Britain today. So this is SHAM 69 now and though many have scoffed at their existence they have come to regret it having been overwhelmed by the power of the performance.

Punk legends SHAM 69, scored a run of Top 20 singles and albums throughout the late ’70s with their brand of foot-stomping, football terrace chant-a-long anthems for the disaffected youth.
