Cock Sparrer - Cock Sparrer LP

Blimey! Can’t believe we’ve still got a couple of these kicking around. Cock Sparrer’s ill fated debut was released in Spain and Spain only in 1978. Record industry shenanigans robbed the world from experiencing Cock Sparrer as an important thread in the fabric of the initial UK punk explosion, and I reckon if this album had gotten a widespread release on Decca it would have been a wonderful humbling of the punk media spectacle. I know that it’s only rock ‘n’ roll, but I like it. A killer slab of thrifty, glam-y pub rock that joins the dots between the studded bracelets and The Small Faces. – Nic
