Sham 69 - Hurry Up Harry - HD October 1978 Promotional Video

Sham 69’s Thats Life can be regarded as a punk concept album. Life for teens in the 70’s contained in two sides of vinyl. From the start, Sham’s politics were populist, and their sound accessible; straight-ahead four-square punk with a hard rock influence and lyrics that often used sing-along slogans in their choruses, such as “If The Kids Are United” and “(Gonna Be A) Borstal Breakout.” The band went through a revolving cast of musicians early on before settling on the lineup of Pursey, Dave Parsons on guitar, Albie Slider on bass, and Mark Cain behind the drums. They began scaring up gigs where they could and began playing the notorious London punk venue the Roxy on a regular basis, where they built up a loyal following. Thats Life with Dave “Kermit” Tregenna on bass was released in late 1978 and featured two major hit singles, Hurry Up Harry and Angels With Dirty Faces. Sham’s popularity continued to grow.
