Jimmy Pursey - 1977  - (Erica Echenberg)
Jimmy Pursey - Sham 69
Go one Jim, you tell em where they
can shove their Artistic licence.

Jimmy Pursey gives the camerawoman
(Erica Echenberg) her tuppence worth of
logic back down the Roxy in late 1977. A
time when
Sham 69 were supporting the
likes of
Menace. But within 6 months of
this picture being taken
Sham 69 were
signed up by Polydor Records and were
about to begin the roller coaster ride of a
lifetime. Within 2 decades
Sham 69 songs
would appear on McDonald's adverts.
And you know what.... the band are still a
gigging entity. Jimmy registered the name
Sham 69 as a registered trademark in
2012 despite this 2 versions of the band
were gigging under the same name in
recent years.
