Cock Sparrer - Shock Troops LP
SKU: PPR027Description:
Some records so perfectly capture an artist at a critical point in
their creativity, and make such an impact, that they become not
just synonymous with the band, but an essential piece of music
history. Such is the case with Shock Troops, the album that not
only became Cock Sparrer’s most acclaimed record, but a defining
moment for Oi!, punk rock, and underground music in general!
Originally released by Razor Records in 1983, Shock Troops proved
to consist of song after song which would each become anthems of
the burgeoning Oi! scene and far beyond. From the opening of “Where
Are They Now?” on through “Take ‘Em All,” “We’re Coming Back,” all
the way to the closing chords of “Out On An Island,” there isn’t a
song in the bunch that any self respecting punk rocker can’t shout
along to. These working class anthems are just as vital today, as
proven by the crowds of beloved fans worldwide that continue to go
wild at Sparrer’s live shows, where Shock Troops tracks still make
up the heart of their setlists.
