I first heard Chas & Dave back in ’78 when they had their first (minor) hit with ‘Strummin’. At the time I thought of them as being very similar to other cockney post-punk acts such as Ian Dury, Squeeze & The Street Band (remember ‘Toast’?); it was only a little later (after Courage started featuring their songs in TV ads) that they really got their more homely knees-up image. By 1981 (while still in my teens) I bought all of their original LPs, & eagerly awaited any new releases over the next few years.Below I’ve attempted to review all of their original albums, though I’ve generally omitted (a) Compilations, (b) Live Albums (with one notable exception), & (c) Their many sing-a-long collections of medleys. Hi Joerg,If you just want package then I suggest you go for the From Tottenham To Tennessee collection, as this features all the big hits from 1979 to 1986 as well the entire Well Pleased / Flying albums. This is currently on for £2.99.

But it wouldn't be too expensive to get both The Very Best of Chas & Dave (The EMI Years) on for £2.97, & Mustn't Grumble / Job Lot, on for £4.62. So for little more than £10 you can currently pick up all seven of their classic 1977-1987 albums + more, amazing value!Apparantly they've had some success outside the UK, particularly in Scandinavia, Germany & Australia, & they even toured the USA during the '90's after the vocal version of 'Flying' got some belated airplay.
