Originally released by Decca Records (bizarrely only in Spain!) just as the band split up in 1978, this album has only been available for a hefty price tag on vinyl collector websites in recent times. This is the first official re-issue of this title in nearly 45 years. Using the original artwork and printing it on gold foil, symbolizes the importance of this band's history. The band have directly overseen this release via Captain Oi and made sure that this very special pressing is in the same format as the entire collection of Cock Sparrer studio albums that are being made available to fans as part of the 50th anniversary album collection brought to you by Pirates Press Records. Remastered from the original 1⁄4 analogue tapes and presented on 180gram black vinyl, this album is truly a 'must-have' for any fan of the band and captures the Cock Sparrers sound during the initial 1970s emergence of UK punk.
