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. Like The Exploited and Anti- nowhere league o.a.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTell Us The Truth is now available on 1000 individually numbered copies on red translucent coloured vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUSIC ON VINYL","offers":[{"title":"Limited Numbered Translucent Red 1LP","offer_id":56616204861820,"sku":"HJM-08901","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9022\/0535\/files\/0afbde4f62599f7aae18ec2e8f8269e5.png?v=1775828162","url":"https:\/\/heyjoemusic.co.uk\/products\/sham-69-tell-us-the-truth","provider":"Hey Joe Music \u0026 Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
