Sparrer built up a big following in London's East End and revival Doc Martens and Sta-Press trousers long before they became fashionable again.
Locked into a contract with a label not interested in releasing their records, Sparrer ended up calling it a day in April 1978.
Then in November 1982 came the news that the band had reformed and were to release a single on the Carrie label, 'England Belongs To Me', a patriotic populism punk pop song with a strong terrace chant chorus.

 Cock Sparrer: Live: Runnin' Riot Across the U.S.A. - PopMatters Music Review
London bad boys Cock Sparrer, soccer hooligans, notorious drunks and working-class heroes to millions of finger-wagging oi fans everywhere, never thought they would make it to America.
Riot could easily be called Greatest Hits Live as Sparrer storm through their discography playing tracks that, though simplistic, show an element of class-consciousness and pub wisdom missing in much contemporary punk.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Bloody Minded: The Best of Cock Sparrer [Import] [Best of]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Bloody Minded: The Best of Cock Sparrer includes most of the band's finest numbers, but half the record is made up of more recently recorded live versions of their old hits rather than the original singles.
Cock Sparrer sound exactly the same as they always have, and "Take 'Em All," their anti-record-company rant, and "Where Are They Now?," one of their typically disillusioned working-class tunes, hold up fine.
So does their classic "Running Riot," with its memorable chorus, "I can't stand the peace and quiet/All I want is a running riot." "Sunday Stripper" is one of the greatest striptease tunes ever written, and while this version is excellent, the original recording is perfect.

Yes, we're a lot nearer the end than the beginning, and realistically there are not too many more gigs left in the Sparrer story but we never say never and take each day as it comes.
To be honest, 2001 in England was such a good gig that it would have been a great one to go out on but then 2003 was better and 2006 was probably the most enjoyable gig we've done.
