The Decca Years

by Cock Sparrer

Overview

Documenting the trailblazing U.K. Oi! band Cock Sparrer's brief 18-month stint on the Decca label, this compilation features its first single, "Runnin' Riot," as well as its entire debut album (which had previously only seen the light of day as a 2006 Spanish release), plus bonus tracks and a color booklet. The band's aggressive, boot-boy sound on the riotous "Trouble on the Terraces" and "What's It Like to Be Old" is tempered by its affinity with such classic 1960s bands as the Who and the Small Faces on cuts like the cheeky "Sunday Stripper," lending Cock Sparrer a distinction among many of its contemporaries.
