Another pic sent to me in 1983 by my pal Schnitzel⁩. THE INSANE pictured here in a little punk club somewhere in (West) Germany.

Strange bill. Rollins + Buchan. I don’t think it was BLACK FLAG’s most enjoyable tour. Unresponsive crowds, freezing cold temperatures. Definitely worth reading Henry’s GET IN THE VAN book for more information. ⁦Black Flag⁩ henryrollins⁩

Excerpts from Dave Ruffy’s scrapbook. #theruts ⁦Ruts DC⁩

I think this gig was released on video. There’s plenty of (very grainy) footage online. Both bands probably at their peak - if peak is the right word. I went to Victoria Hall once. 1987. I was dragged along to a ZZ Top gig. Awful.

Quality from Finland. 1982/3.

May 1981. Thanks as ever to FB’s Oi! The Archives site for much of the SOUNDS material. Nice chap who runs it as well.

Fantastic bootleg this. Perfect sound quality. Later to be released on the DK 40 compilation. #deadkennedys

The back cover of my favourite album by Lewisham’s finest, and one I played relentlessly in 1983. Official Bootleg 1980 - 1981 by THE BUSINESS.

A tape I was rather fond of in 1981/2. ANTI-PASTI were a regular fixture in my little bedroom in Wales all those years ago. ⁦Anti-Pasti Punk⁩

1978. The SHAM ARMY await their leader.

CRASS - A Pictorial History. Pay no more than £50.

Late 70’s newspaper ad.

Roi currently on vocal duties with THE BUSINESS. Pictured here in 1981 on the reverse of the very fine CARRY ON OI! album.

An ad which even tells you which buses to get. Handy that. Should be made compulsory on ALL gig ads.

James Newell Osterberg Jr. The Great Survivor. Image taken from ⁦MOJO Magazine⁩’s rather fine book on PUNK published in 2008.

More RUTS. This time in Yugoslavia. 1979. Translations welcome.

1982.

Random list of tapes I found in one of my scrapbooks. Some good ones as well, particularly ⁦Joy Division⁩.

Good old Tony. I’ll whisper this then: I actually have two ⁦YESofficial⁩ albums, both of which I think are rather good. Their debut is a stunning piece of work. Er, sorry Tony - wherever you are 😉
