ANGELIC UPSTARTS - ANTHEMS AGAINST SCUM - LIVE L.P.

Fantastic Live album from original Punk Legends the Angelic Upstarts, Inspired initially by The Clash, regular face around town Mensi just like Strummer felt he also had plenty to say, and formed the upstarts in South Shields, Tyneside in 1977.

By the following year they had self-released their debut single, "The Murder of Liddle Towers/Police Oppression and from then on they were simply unstoppable, Mensi was a man of the people and used his voice and influence to enlighten everyone who would listen, politics were high on the upstarts agenda and were often featured within Mensi's typically working class lyrics.

The band were never far from controversy or outrage but still managed to produce some of the greatest ever punk records, I was lucky enough to witness the great man himself looming large over many upstarts gigs I attended and Mensi always delivered a powerful performance on stage, I for one will miss his mighty presence - Mensi R.I.P.

This I acquired from a closed independent record shop who kindly sold me their small amount of left over punk related stock.

Fantastic anthem packed live album that is basically a live greatest hits package, check the tracklisting, every upstarts track you could ever need and a blistering cover of Sham 69's If The Kids Are United.

Almost mint essential punk purchase, serious collector's who buy from me on a regular basis will know the importance of having this in their punk collection.

grab it while it's here, this is a glorious release.

Low start considering its rarity value and no reserve.
