Format:Audio CD
The Socialist Worker's Party house band of the 80's, an icon of the hard left anti-thatcher struggle in Yorkshire. Along with Red Wedge, Jools the Poet, New Model Army, and live music in Bradford followed by the best, cheapest, and hotest curries in England all were an integral part of being on the left up North.
Great driving music for mountain roads, pre-party, pre-demo prep music- don't over analysis the simplistic lyrics just go with the up beat flow.
Keep on Keepin on- yeah!

Quite simply one of the greatest albums ever made. As astute politically as anything you will ever hear it simply catches the mood of the downtrodden working classes during Thatchers bleak years of rule and makes plain the notion that "the power is yours".
Truly uplifting, the band had an epic raw quality -- they gave their all and they meant every word. An o so rare quality.
Brilliant. !

I recenly got a copy of the cd version of the skins album as my old vynil copy has seen better days.Although the cd version does not contain the untitled track on side two (if anyone can shed any light etc)but it does contain bonus tracks so it's still well worth it. On hearing it again after several years absence a have mixed feeling's. I met the band several time's as a fan and also had the pleasure of supporting them on several occasion's in the mid 80s in scotland.The thing that strike's me whenever anyone remind's of the band is the turmoil, political uphevel ,strike's,Thach etc so i won't bore you with the history lesson instead i'll try give you a different angle on the group a loved then. On a personnel level i found the group some of the most intelligent generous open and likeable people i've had the pleasure to meet. They were the genuine article they flew in the face of fastion, out of step with most things and never afraid to put there ass on the line (quite literally at times)in short they had the bottle. Fastfoward to 2002 i have a copy of the album in my player. The years have been kind to the sound perhaps a bit over blown at times.I remember giving cris the singer a hard time about the production at the time and like a true gent he took on board every druken word a spat at him bearing in mind at most post gig meet and greet's they had the delight of having the NF waiting for them as leave the hall.... Chris if by miricle you read this ....i'm sorry you were right. Take no heroes..... Only inspiration.

a lost treasure
I bought the album as vinyl when the band was the darling of the SWP. I had a bizarre conversation with Chris over the phone when he was looking for posters of South Africa to use... Read more

Absolutely awful.
Don't buy this record. Trite and mind numbingly boring. Sadly I don't seem to be able to enter zero stars so I've had to put one.

Never give into commercialism
The Punk bands of the Seventies followed a boring formula of inaudible vocals, lack of melody and out of tune instruments all played at break neck speed. Read more

Enough to make anyone rebelious!
Surely one of the great 80s albums that, now, seem to have captured the real spirit of the time; yuppies, miners on strike, Thatcherism. Read more

Sounds as powerful now as it did then
Probably the greatest 'lost' album of the 80s. A powerful combination of punk, stax soul, rockabilly and political lyrics. Read more
