5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Collection of the Best Punk Band!, June 11, 2006

This is an excellent collection of Sham 69, one of the pioneer bands of British punk music from the 1970s. It highlights their best albums from 1977-1980, and even has a few choice songs from their later "comeback" albums from about ten years later. The third disc of this collection is all live, with great selections from at least five different concerts! This collection is a must-have for punk fans, and is a real treat for Sham 69 fans! If this is your first Sham 69 purchase, I would highly recommend purchasing Sham 69's "Punk Singles Collection" CD, in addition to this boxed set!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great music, but what does "complete" mean???, November 2, 2005

I'm not a Sham 69 expert. Until I bought this a few weeks ago I'd only heard "Hurry Up, Harry", "If the Kids Are United", and my favorite, "Borstal Breakout". Those are all good songs and 70's Brit-punk is my favorite music, so I picked this up.

Anyway, I'm glad I got this. The music's great, especially the first disc (minus the 1988 songs at the end).

My only question is, what do they mean by calling this "the complete collection"? The third and last CD is all live tracks, many of which I don't recall hearing on the first two CD's. A few are covers, I do realize, but most of the 3rd disc songs say they were written BY Sham 69. So, I'm thinking they were published as studio versions before they were recorded from live shows. So, where ARE those studio recordings? Is this really a "complete collection". I don't think so, but hey, it's still a good buy.

The cd was great the case was alittle cracked but the cds themselves worked pretty well, although even thought I ordered it for 2 day shipping and received it about 3 weeks later i was pretty satisfied
