Classic Punk-Oi! from back in the day. Lyrics are down to earth and music classic early punk. Sort of think of early Clash, Ruts and you get the idea.
Best thing about this is you get 2 albums on the one CD. You may want to check out bands like The Business if you like this one.

The Great "Street Punk" Record
rating: 5
Cocksparrer are one of the best rock n roll bands to have recorded in England in the late seventies. And yes, that includes the Who, the Rolling Stones and the Clash. This CD gets you everything you will ever need to hear from the band, and what a set of songs it is!
This music is often labeled "Street punk". God knows why. Cocksparrer has also too often been hit with the claim that they were a skinhead band, which also isn't true. These guys were working class kids from London who knew how to put together a dozen great songs. This is aggressive but melodic rock and roll heavily influenced by punker bands that were also around at the same time. Check this one out, and if you aren't singing "Take 'Em All" to yourself the next day, you don't like rock n roll.

great value, decent albums
rating: 4
I may be committing some sort of social faux pas, but as a big a fan of the 'Sparrer ...I prefer a live album. Sure the two albums for the price of one is grand, but the energy and insanity of a Cocksparrer live show is unparalled. Spend the extra money and make it happen, scholar.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Shock Troops? The album is a classic. Not many bands have the passionate vocals Cock Sparrer have. The music is played clean, not raw like many punk bands of this time. Songs like "Where are They Now," "Take 'em All," and "England Belongs to Me" are infectious tunes guaranteed to make you seek out more music like this.
Runnin Riot is a different story. It took some time before I could appreciate the sound of that album. The music seems darker and dated. It is still worth a listen and since the disc is a 2-in-1 you don't really loose out on anything. This is a great value and I'm glad I was able to come across this disc.
