One more LP (1980’s The Game) followed before Sham 69 split into various groups that featured ex-members of The Sex Pistols, The Damned, and The Dead Boys. The album was the band’s biggest seller (making the U.K. But in retrospect, it’s a keen artifact of punk's evolution, down to the Springsteen cops on “Joey’s on the Street Again.” Punk guitar hero Dave Parsons and bassist Dave Tregunna kept the music spirited, especially on the hit anthem “Hersham Boys” (the band’s best single) and “Questions and Answers.” Singer Jimmy Pursey reeled in his rallying calls in favor of reverb-drenched sentiments and melodies. The big-budget affair was a mighty long way from the band’s “cockney Ramones” roots Adventures was recorded at the famed Le Chateau in the south of France, where Elton John, Pink Floyd, and Cat Stevens had made hit records. Pursey’s Sham deliberately and professionally gives their punters what they want when they want it, and there’s f*ck all wrong with that.Punk rock was all but done when Sham 69 recorded their third album-1979’s The Adventures of Hersham Boys-so they softened up the working-class sucker-punches and added some organs, pianos, and slide guitars. Sham 69 will always be the name badly spray-painted on a suburban train station wall, and their timeless tunes reflect this moth-eaten underdog with sharp teeth spirit. At under sixty minutes, it’s a short sharp shock of a gig, but in fairness to the band, they wasted no stage time and used no (show) filler. Top ten smash ‘Hersham Boys’ punches the TOTP nostalgic sweet spot, whereas ‘Hurry Up Harry’ could raise the dead with its futile tea-time chorus and Punk ‘N’ Roll riff. A cover of ‘White Riot’ garners a raucous audience reaction before the double trouble anthem encore.
The hits now flow as ‘Angels With Dirty Faces’ see a few a pints get launched while ‘Questions And Answers’ remains a poetic clip round the ear of classic Sham. I'm a gypsy I'm a stroller I'm a sailor lost at sea I've walked on a tightrope I've fallen but survived Trying always to be so kind But losing out to peace of mind I was left at the circus When the big top was pulled down Always trying to show the two faces of a clown Humble pie crumbles in my mouth Why my prides left on the shelf God how we. ‘George Davis Is Innocent’ is followed by a rollicking ‘Borstal Breakout’ and the perfect aural pocket-sized snapshot of Seventies teenage exasperation on ‘That’s Life’. The engaging frontman with a piercing stare holds court as ‘Ulster Boy’, ‘Rip Off’ and a speedy ‘Bastille Cake’ fly past. Sham 69 takes to the stage with little or no fanfare and launches into ‘What Have We Got’ with Jimmy Pursey leading the enthusiastic Friday night crowd through the chorus chant of “f*ck all”.
