    "Thats Life" was the greatest concept album ever made in my opinion. Spoke directly to a generation that was ignored and neglected criminally by the state.

    Whatever Jimmy is or isnt is meaningless,as a young punk when they were on Top of the Pops singing 'angels with dirty faces,kids you like kids like me',i felt he was talking to me, a nothing, living on a shitty council estate in Yorkshire.Jim did care and wore his heart on his sleeve,the bottom line is they made some fucking great records when we needed them.Saw Jim and the boys in Leeds a few months ago and they were as good as ever.

      Pubert Stench That's exactly the Spirit! I'm Greek and totally relate to that kind of Spirit ('cause when you're talking on such timeless stuff and people, that's what it is really about, Spirit, good~heartedness (in the older sense) combined with courage and other things!)! Actually Sham 69 and Jimmy have always been enormously respected and strongly followed and liked in Greece! May God Bless All Children, young ones, older ones, those gone, and All!

    I used to love Sham 69, That's Life was one of my favourite albums, I knew it off by heart.
    I never knew there was a documentary about it. I used to imagine the characters to all the naration in the album, but now here it is in real life - Fantastic.
    Thanks for the uplaod!

    I've still got That's life & tell us the truth, and one of the highlight of all the punk bands i saw back in the 70's in my mid-teens was Sham at bradford Uni, i can still remember it like yesterday. Jimmy was an underated performer and songwriter with some great lyrics, and although it's a bit off to hear he's still singing 'borstal breakout' at almost 70yo, he's been there, done it and got the t-shirts, so go on my son....

    Jimmy Pursey was an inspiration to me, gave me a real moral and social conscience, he was real, had soul and truly believed in what he was doing. To this day I would trust him over many fake people in this world. The fact is he was involved in some really great music, his solo album Imagination Camouflage is an overlooked and underestimated gem, unfortunately never released on CD to my knowledge.

  • @flowerbedmusic2674
    @flowerbedmusic2674 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great documentary. Never seen it before. A really POSITIVE message for punk and Sham 69 in particular. Shame that the audio drops for the music cos of the faulty videotape. Anyway, I remember at the time people slagging off Jimmy Pursey but looking at this, his heart was in the right place. As for how things were and how things are now, the kids from poor families still have the same things to be angry about but there's no gig to go to to let it all out. No band or music to follow that speaks for them. Punk had that going for it...uniting people. What do they have now?

  • @cragboom3

    Love Sham 69. First band I ever saw at Glasgow appolo. He was singing, "what ave we got, we got you" Loads of cockney skins and Glasgow punks. Real life. No light shows and mincing choreographed dance routines. Just brilliant guitar riffs, drums, and lyrics. Inspired everyone I know to this day to play an instrument. JP is a good man. Fell in love with London because of them and moved.

    The irony of Sham 69 was that their videos and appearances on programmes like Top of the Pops had a cartoonish quality to them, whilst their gigs had a reputation for violence. The choruses of Hersham Boys and Hurry Up Harry ended up becoming school playground chants.

    It's funny, I met Grant, the guy who plays the lead role and who is the voice between the tracks on the album Sham 69 'That's Life' album it happened at a Paul Weller concert in Paris a few years ago, I was really amazed to hear that so familiar voice that I had heard so much on the LP, it was almost like meeting a Rock Star for me ha ha! He was a funny guy, a pure Cockney who had made ​​the trip with his mates for the Paul Weller show (apparently they were quite good friends with Paulio) , we ended up pissed drinking together at a little bar next to the venue...

    Shame the NF and BM messed it all up. Fantastic band who in my opinion were severely under rated at the time and ever since. Some of the best "Sing along Anthems" of the time. Always remember an advert on UK TV for (I think) Radion washing detergent (made by Unilever as a Tide competitor in bright orange bottle) clearly playing "if the kids are united" . That being said, I read the Cockney Rejects book and some of the Pistols stuff and they said JP was a complete Muppet. Who knows, 1978 was along time ago.

      Jimmy never claimed he was part of the skinhead "movement" when starting out' I think otherwise he would of shaved his head from the beginning surely he would of promoted his purpose and acted on it from the beginning. When the band started getting recognition skinheads latched on to the group, They would following the band to a concert get pissed and act like mega moronic pisshead cocks.

      Sham were an Oi band actually mate. Its just that Skrewdriver called themselves an Oi band so some fans decided that all Oi bands were white power skinheads

      Those were actually the critics at NME who falsely claimed, Jimmy Pursey was "just a show business Ham". What do they know?!!

    I'm sure I'm not the only American that thought that every bloke that went to see a punk band in the late 70s would be dressed like punks with spiked hair, ripped t-shirts and dog collars. Stupid mistake on my part.

    Never been sure about Jimmy Pursey, but the That's Life album is brilliant, still listening to that album, I think Jimmy took himself a little too seriously

    I remember the N.M.E review of Hurry Up Harry, it stated words to the effect, that the single contained the sound of possibly the most moronic human voice ever committed to vinyl...
