Since loudmouth Jimmy Pursey's group broke up after four years and four albums, here is the deluge list of retrospective Sham 69 product, including best-ofs, demos, and live outings, starting the year they split: The First, the Best & the Last (1980), Angels with Dirty Faces: The Best Of (1986), Live and Loud!! (1987), Live and Loud!!, Vol. 2 (1988), Sham's Last Stand (1989), Live at the Roxy (1990), Rare and Unreleased (1991), Kings & Queens (1997), and now The Punk Singles Collection (1998). Nine LPs! Overkill, anybody? Still, if you missed the above, let alone those four LPs reissued on CD by Dojo in 1996, you can't find a better place to peruse the godfathers of Oi! than this. It's a chronological collection of the 22 A- and B-sides from their ten U.K. singles (five straight of which were Top 20 hits there, proof of their massive following!). As usual, the original absolutely beats the movement it spawned, as the everybody-sing-along choruses of "Hurry Up Harry," "Questions and Answers," "Give a Dog a Bone," and "If the Kids Are United" belong in any non-snobbish punk fan's collection. In fact, since the two previous best-ofs are both long out of print vinyl, this CD is the jumping-on point for new kids on the Sham army block. Or, for those who wish to see what greatly inspired Minor Threat and the whole of the famous 1979-1983 D.C. Dischord scene, this is the place. ~ Jack Rabid, Rovi
