The Adventures of the Hersham Boys is an album by punk band Sham 69, released in 1979. It is their most successful album, peaking at No. 8 in the UK. On their first album, Sham 69 sounded like a gang of energetic punk rockers, well-meaning and enthusiastic, but things had taken a turn by the time they'd cut The Adventures of the Hersham Boys in 1979. Where their early recordings took a lean, stripped-down approach, like a Cockney version of the Ramones, this album is dominated by "anthemic" melodies. The Adventures of the Hersham Boys was one of Sham 69's most successful albums and launched two major chart singles, Hersham Boys and Questions and Answers. The Adventures of the Hersham Boys is available as a limited numbered edition of 750 individually numbered copies on 180-gram translucent red coloured vinyl and is housed in a gatefold sleeve.
