ALBUMS
o Sham 69: Angels With Dirty Faces (Receiver). To coincide with their comeback on the scene, a collection oi the best hacks irorn the Bonzo Dog Doo nah Band oi punk. This is the stuli most oi the sell-appointed connossleurs oi the new wave dismissed as parochial Cockney trash (with some lustliication, considering the Oi plague that came in Sham’s wake), but playing this is like having an old lrlend pop round tor a
' laugh. Could Sham have been as naive,
dumb and crass as they seemed? Probably. But ’iiersham Boys’ is having
a can playing it.
