Cock Sparrer - Shock Troops (Limited Edition)

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. 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. In celebration of the band's 50th year, Pirates Press Records presents this 180gram black vinyl version of Cock Sparrer's legendary LP, remastered from the original 1/4 tapes and housed in a gorgeous sleeve printed directly on gold foil.
