Sham 69 “Tell Us The Truth” – Original UK 1978 Polydor LP (2383 491) – Punk Classic

For sale is a UK original pressing of Sham 69’s landmark 1978 album Tell Us The Truth (Polydor catalogue No. 2383 491) – the debut LP from the band, featuring the live side with tracks such as “Borstal Breakout” and “George Davis Is Innocent.” 

The front cover features the iconic pointing-hand design, and this copy has the red/orange Polydor label (made in England).

Condition:

• Sleeve: (You’ll want to insert your condition here – e.g., “good condition, some edge wear, minor scuffing” or “very good +” etc)
• Vinyl: (Insert your assessment – e.g., “plays well with minimal surface noise”, “clean vinyl, slight hairlines but no deep scratches” etc)
  From the photos provided, the label looks intact and the cover appears in strong shape; please review the images carefully for any imperfections.
• Please note: grading follows the standard system (Mint / Near Mint / Very Good + / Very Good / Good). I recommend that buyers ask for close-up photos of the vinyl if needed.

Why this is a great piece:

• Histori­cally significant punk rock LP from one of the UK’s key late-’70s bands.
• First side live concert recordings, second side studio tracks — a compelling format for collectors and fans.  
• Original UK Polydor pressing rather than later re-issues – which makes it more desirable.
