In 1978 I was 11 now I'm 50 I love this song

[@MrSKB69]

This was the very first single I ever bought

[@robertsmith4519]

Brilliant

[@jayaybe1]

One of the first records I ever bought, picture cover too! ; ) Sunday Morning nightmare I would only play when my mum and dad were out because he said "dirty bitch". I was 27 at the time ( joke! ) make that 11 ; )

[@danielscissorhands]

They performed this song twice on Top of the Pops? Apparently so.There is a different video as well. Are they actually playing live in this one? I think they were in the other one.

[@FrankyHaemmer]

Obviosly live here.

[@Adam-pu6jg]

Jimmy singing live
Rest are having to mime

[@nialldoherty5570]

Live,who the fuck could do this now. Stallions

[@PauloSGM]

Courier Crisis!

[@Muirton66]

Couldn't take Pursey seriously back then and nothing has changed.

[@nialldoherty5570]

Is this a foot stomping song or what.

[@chrisr5499]

Was the drummer a Rockabilly ?

[@rhianjones1319]

“I wish Sham 69 never got back together at all”

[@spikeytop8982]

The way Pursey hams it up was always a turn off for me. Each to their own I suppose

[@dannyinaus]

Commercial punk - sad (like Green Day)

[@fernandokosovel600]

????? what are you saying ? ,Green day I agree,but this is quintessencial punk,one of the best , man

[@josefizquierdo6139]

...No, it was just "very catchy music", like The Beatles' stuff...Sham 69 had great talent, too...just like many other English punk rock bands of their time...too bad that America wasn't ready for it...in the mid-1970s, anyway...We, the youth there, really missed out on it...

[@Mrmikey0909]

Yep, you are.
