Sham 69 - Tell Us The Truth *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 29th May 2026
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

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,

Sham 69 took a perversely populist pride in its lack of musical or intellectual sophistication.

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 "Knees Up, Mother Brown." Jimmy Pursey's communication with his audience is inarguably impressive, and all the songs

have a good head of straight-ahead live energy. The studio side sounds impressive as well; a tight performances all together.
