So tell me, do you remember in 1969? Seeing all the skinheads standing in a line? Foaming at the mouth, Waiting for a fight? High boots, cropped hair, what a fuckin sight! Come back of the skinhead, come back of the boot. People that we don’t beat up, We’re gonna fucking shoot! We are the new breed, we will have our say…

I thought you might… So yesterday we gave you the BBC’s documentary of sorts on legendary rippers, the 4 Skins, so today we felt it totally appropriate to present to you a packet of singles and rarities from this important and influential band from the East End of London. Of course, you should all know this stuff by heart and the pounding rhythms should be coursing through you veins.. but being the modern working class chums that we are, we felt you might need it for your ipod–which we imagine you listen to while smashing random car windows or as a soundtrack to delicious dinner of pies an stout. Enjoy!
