Documenting the years of 1978 to 1981, Hasan Shah and Dom Shaw have shied away from the cliche spit-soaked 'punk' documentaries that seemingly rear their badly-produced heads every time John Lydon breaks wind and have instead focused on the influential and infinitely more creative post-punk period. Capturing the heady excitement of the cross-pollination of genres such as punk, ska, oi! and Mod, there's a crackling undercurrent of anarchic glee that infuses 'Rough Cut & Ready Dubbed', fitting perfectly with music from the Stiff Little Fingers, the Purple Hearts, Cockney Rejects, the Selecter and Sham 69. Coupled with 2005's 'Rough Cut & Ready Dubbed Re-visited' which sees the duo catch up with their subjects twenty five years on, this Grierson Award winner is well worth your time.
