Great band. Around seven years ago I was walking along the promenade in Southwold in Suffolk when I saw Jimmy Pursey approaching. I thought my knees would let me down but I managed a lame "Thanks for the music and memories Jimmy". He shook my hand and said "You are very welcome Sir". Not much of a comment, but for the rest of the day, I felt twenty feet tall 🧡
I was so lucky to go through my teenage years on punk rock. Timeless music.
I was teenaged then, but I wasn't in the right place, lol. I got punk records from the back of Creem, God bless them. You couldn't go in the record store in Brownwood Texas in 1977 and find The Art Attacks. Lol Only 2 other ppl in my school besides me were punks, lol.
Same here mate... saw the Clash aged 15.. Buzzcocks Joy Division Slf Killing Joke and this lot... etc and anyone who played KJH Blackburn and Manchester!!.. fkn halcyon days!!!
How lucky were we!!!
👍👍 Best Music Best Times what a great world to grow up in
@@BenStone_vocês são sortudos, nasci no começo da década de 80 e ouvi punk nos anos até hoje.
Mas moro no interior de MG no Brasil.
Sou um grande fã de UK SUBS, buzzcocks, the damned e etc.
Esses discos eram caros , importados.
E só achávamos em São Paulo.
If sham 69 don't get you moving then you must be dead what a great band they were
Like it love them
Loved this band . 'Tell us the Truth' one of the finest albums ever made.
Got to dance on stage with him at Reading when all the Hells Angles were attacking the skins..
He also came to my rescue at Retford Porterhouse, when they refused to let me in . I knew the owners ( Sammy chapman) daughters & he disliked me but Jimmy just fluttered his lovely deep eyes & gave him that cheeky grin..Such happy days & great times. We had nowt, but we knew how to belong ... & us kids were definitely united...❤🙏..x
Were you the girl who got up on stage for Borstal breakout?
Great Band, great session, happy to have found this, and heard it. Job well done to all involved.
Sham 69 at their best.
One of the very greatest British punk bands and for many the link between punk and oi. Singer Jimmy Pursey is the archetypal working class kid on the street. Their early music seemed to simplify punk to an even more basic state. Some likened it to sing-a-long songs or crowd chants at a football match, so you can see the progression to oi. They had a huge following called Sham Army and Sham 69 recorded some of the most powerful punk ever, being perhaps the most popular band at the time, scoring seven straight top 50 hits on the British charts. Strangely enough, three of their greatest songs failed to chart--Ulster, Borstal Breakout and Unite and Win. Borstal Breakout/ Hey Little Rich Boy (1/6/'78) was their second record. They Don't Understand and Rip Off turned up on their classic first LP Tell Us the Truth (2/17/'78) What 'Av We Got was originally a one sided 7" recorded live at the Marquee and given away free at shows in late '77 as a thank you to the Sham Army kids. On the record in response to What 'Av We Got, the chorus sings "Fuck all." Here the response is "John Peel" Cute eh? (No cursing allowed on the BBC.) They were scheduled to come to America in 1978 but immigration refused Pursey a visa due to his criminal record for causing a disturbance and resisting arrest in Sept. 1977 when Sham played on the roof of the Vortex, a club famous for booking punk bands. I first saw Sham 69 at Hurrah's here in New York City in late 1979, a show I will never forget. Sham was smoking hot that night and Pursey was as charismatic a front man as you could ever hope to see. The crowd was going completely ape shit the whole show. And at the end of the night my young punk mind was totally blown.
A decent assessment of Sham. But "No cursing allowed on the BBC", are you sure? I don't remember Peel ever editing out swearwords. And the way Jimmy takes the piss out of more conservative DJs would suggest a bit of tongue in cheek.
Great story
Well? Willie? Many Great Punk Rock Bands from The U.K.did get Banned from The U.S.for not being able to acquire a Temporary Visa to come & travel to The U.S. & Go On Tour with all of the other Great Punk Rock Bands @ that time? For many various reasons? Not just getting arrested for causing a riot? Or public disturbance? Or protest in the local streets? Most of the reasons why? Was about Money? & The Financial Ability to make it to The U.S? & Survive? Economically? & Financially? While they were here Touring In The United States of America? However? Fortunately? Everything started to change for the better for All of Us Punk Rockers in 1977 to 1980! The very first time I saw Sham 69 Live was back in 1978.Most of the Punk Rock Gigs,Shows,& Concerts I saw back in the day were absolutely free for Me & included no admission price because I was already a V.I.P. Member & knew everybody personally on the Inside of the Music Business @ that specific time period in musical history! Very similar to Wall Street! Most Punk Rock Concerts @ that time were not marketed? promoted? Or released to the public @ first? Only Individuals like Myself who had connections & networks with Record Businesses like Gem Records from London whose American Label was Caroline Records.Also,Goldenvoice & Bomp Records in Hollywood & Los Angeles who were responsible & on the ground floor (the very beginning) for launching,marketing & promoting all of these Great Punk Rock Bands in the first place! There was a Very Rare Concert in 1978 that only Individuals on the Inside of The Music Business knew about? & Who were invited to attend? With a very limited guest list? I do not remember the exact date? Or address? However? It happened in a very remote facility? A Military Hangar for Airplanes & Military Equipment in Ventura, California! "Stiff Little Fingers-Sham 69-The Damned & 999!!" For the admission price of $5.00!!
The Sham 69 Concert You Attended Live @ Hurrah's In New York City was Recorded & Released on Link Records from The U.K.as "Live & Loud Volume #1"Or "Live & Loud Volume #2"!!
@@stevehastings5161 thank you for the info. Since the demise of Google plus and my channel there, I don't get notices of comments. Just happened to look up this Vibracobra post today.
Holy shit, what a session!
Loved Sham in the day " It's just a fake make no mistake a rip for you a new Rolls for them". How true...
Sham 69 always cheers me up though.
Thanks for uploading. Borstal Breakout is an absolute Punk Classic along with If The Kids Are United right up there with Anarchy in the UK. I wouldn't consider myself to be a Sham fan but respect where it's due.
this is very very good session.i like sham 69 from first lp time.
Oi Oi Oi. Remember finding the single Angels with Dirty Faces in a shop next to Liverpool Lime St Station. Just been bought and obviously lost by some unfortunate soul. Their loss, my gain - the rest is History!!
saw them in the metropol berlin in the 80´s. still got that ticket.
Punks and skins united, nice evening.
h.m.
Love Sham 💪🇬🇧🎸
They were a great band
sweaty nights in Glasgow miss them so much 😢
seen them many times 77-79 in glasgow, paisley, ayr, rothesay - yes rothesay remember a gig in maryhill community hall maybe '76 when sham had their own security!!!! carnage that night, glasgow north skinheads and soul boys didnt take to the west ham skins lording it !!!!!
@@johnjohnstone8612 great band, seen them at the Apollo with Paul Cook and Steve Jones. Don't recall a gig at Rothesay as i grew up there. Can you enlighten me?
This is USA calling... even though Sham 69 never became a household name Stateside (they only had one US LP) Their third effort "Adventures of Hersham Boys" (1979) is one of my favorite albums to come out of the UK...!
Just caught your message. I hope your still okay & around. I was one of those who got banned from going to the USA in my youth,they liked to pick on us Punks back then. I then met a promoter who helped get it quashed & I got my Visa. Myself ( now a lighting engineer) & my sound guy buddy Mark were due to fly out & bacome part of the Goldenvoice team, but Mark got cold feet & I also decided not to go last minute too. This was around 82/83 ..A few years later ,news broke about Mr Gary Tovar & how he lured us unsuspecting punks over there & held them to ransom & forcing them into being drug runners via debts & passport holding by him ..lucky escape ..
I wish you well.
Really good to hear this. Saw their penultimate farewell show in Glasgow 1979, and then the ill fated one at the Rainbow in London a week later.
I never understood why Johnny Rotten had to slag Sham 69 off. I think they're great. I've always loved them (AND John Lydon!!!) In fact, Sham 69 sort of made me take up the role as the lead singer of a punk band back in 1980. They were the reason.
And while I'm at it: I also love the UK Subs, the Angelic Upstarts and the Cockney Rejects.
+Larz Gustafsson I think what mainly caused the problems with John Lydon & Jimmy Pursey was Pursey trying to replace him as lead singer after he quit the band (The Sham Pistols). Apparently they even had a minor fight a few years back while queuing for visas at the US embassy.
+Vincent 79 I see. Thank you. But Sham 69 never got their visas. They even wrote a song about that.
+Larz Gustafsson That visa refusal that they wrote a song about was in the late 1970's. Sham 69 eventually made it to the US in the 1980's, gather this altercation happened in 2005 at the US embassy. Did you know about the Sham Pistols project?
+Vincent 79 OK. I see.
Yes, I know about that project. I even heard a CD.
Eddie Tenpole was also a candidate for the microphone.
Sid was quite a good singer. Shame about his sudden departure.
+Larz Gustafsson Rottens beef with Pursey goes back before the Sham Pistols Scenario.They were constantly at each others throats in the press but Jimmy's short lived daliance with the Pistols probably tipped things over the edge
A great band who unfortunately became associated with extreme politics and violence. They always stood for just the opposite of the hate mongers. Listen to their songs. They espouse the true spirit of socialism and not the twisted ideology of national socialism.
All my teenage epoch !
Good vibes and...
....tell us the Truth with that co-vid mascarade !
PUNK ROCK forever GO FAR 😎😎😎😎😎😎🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻😎😎😎🌻🌻🌻😎😎😎👠👠
Now we ain't got John Peel, we have fuck all.
Brilliant, Hurry up Harry we're going down the pub played every Friday afternoon 🍻🥃🥃is a classic 👌
Awesome stuff. I think it's interesting that punkers mostly wore their shirts tucked in. It's such an untucked sound.
...way to break the fourth wall with that closing track!!
JUST TWO QUICK POSTS TODAY BEFORE WE YANKS HERE IN AMERICA GO GAGA OVER THE SUPER BOWL BETWEEN THE PATRIOTS AND THE FALCONS. STREETS AND RESTAURANTS WILL BE PRETTY MUCH DESERTED WHEN THE GAME IS ON TV. ON THE OTHER HAND, ALL SPORTS BARS WILL BE STANDING ROOM ONLY.
It's easy for me to get excited about Sham 69, one of my very favorite punk bands. Here is what I wrote almost 2 years ago. "One of the very greatest British punk bands and for many the link between punk and oi. Singer Jimmy Pursey is the archetypal working class kid on the street. Their early music seemed to simplify punk to an even more basic state. Some likened it to sing-a-long songs or crowd chants at a football match, so you can see the progression to oi.

Strangely enough, three of their greatest songs failed to chart--Ulster, Borstal Breakout and Unite and Win. Borstal Breakout/ Hey Little Rich Boy (1/6/'78) was their second record. They Don't Understand and Rip Off turned up on their classic first LP Tell Us the Truth (2/17/'78) What 'Av We Got was originally a one sided 7" recorded live at the Marquee and given away free at shows in late '77 as a thank you to the Sham Army kids.

Sham was smoking hot that night and Pursey was as charismatic a front man as you could ever hope to see. The crowd was going completely ape shit the whole show. And at the end of the night my young punk mind was totally blown."
These Peel session songs were recorded only two months after their classic first e.p. I Don't Wanna ( I Don't Wanna/Ulster/Red London) was released. So John Peel quickly picked up on a new emerging talent, as he always did.
Excellent sound here on Vibracobra23 channel. And next we'll see three live songs from Sham in 1978.
1. Borstal Breakout (0:07)
2. Hey Little Rich Boy (2:12)
3. They Don't Understand (3:55)
4. Rip Off (5:44)
5. What 'Av We Got (7:22)
❤❤❤❤❤👍
😍
Kickin' stuff. Better than Sex Pistols.
Hardly
Maybe not
😊
All done by a M8 Harvey M8 yea 🎉
Great stuff but I miss those little intros from Jimmy on each song, guess this is a rebroadcast but has the music at that's all that matters.nice post
Even at the time Sham were a Guilty Pleasure
What was that guilt about? Honest question here.
Sham were always a second gen hilarious punk band with chief protagonist with overly earnest Jimmy Percy at the helm.
Nope, the first generation. Second generation, Cockney Rejects and Angelic Upstarts. Serious like a Unemployment, not like Lauryn Hill or MIA.
That dramatic photo on the Sham 69 single always makes me desperate: "Those cops are going to kill that man!" For me, it is the definitive break from "generic rebelliousness" punk, for a street level. And Angelic Upstarts yells: "Police killed Liddle Towers".
@1.22 someone got fucking hell in and beat the bbc swearing ban
3-1
⚽️⚽️ ⚽️🎩🎩🎩🎩⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
if 'there is gonna be a borstal breakout' don't sing about it! The screws might find out. If you are indeed going to organise a borstal breakout, you must keep the plans quiet.
This is " Prä-Punk " ---!!!!
WOWW :) THX !!
love jp.. but george was as innocent as maggie thatch..:)
I've met George and what a lovely geezer
Heard that session on the day and was mightily impressed. Shame the skins fucked it up for everyone.
Oi Oi Oi. Remember finding the single Angels with Dirty Faces in a shop next to Liverpool Lime St Station. Just been bought and obviously lost by some unfortunate soul. Their loss, my gain - the rest is History!!
