Containing the hits that were only deemed misses by the critics that condemned Oi! as some kind of subcultural fad that favored football and violence way above the bloody good tunes that should by rights occupy the higher rank, 4 Skins' The Unreleased Radio & Studio Sessions encapsulates that energy at its finest. From formidable swarms of police brutality and political injustice, the underlying (and unyielding) socio-political messages experienced from the streets that resonated with every estranged clockwork skinhead of the day are bound to be ticked on every track. After the atmospheric crash of "One Law for Them," dropped in amongst the Radio and blistering Bumper Sessions with "Evil" sitting squarely in its unpolished center is the ska-inflected gallop of "Seems To Me," an unreleased tune reinforcing the notion that there was more to Oi! than meets the laces.

RRS 027C-LP
|
Reissue of the second full-length from influential UK Oi! Band, The 4 Skins. By the time of this release (on Syndicate Records, 1983) the group had gone through numerous line-up changes and were now sporting a heavier, more melodic, hard rock-based sound, fronted by ex-Last Resort vocalist, Roi Pearce. One of the hardest hitting punk albums of the '80s, A Fistful Of... 4 Skins is reissued here on LP with two bonus tracks: "On The Streets" from the Son Of Oi! compilation and a demo version of "Saturday". White vinyl in an edition of 500; includes poster.

The Good, the Bad & The 4 Skins is the debut LP -- originally released on the British Secret label in 1982 -- from East London Oi! legends The 4 Skins. Recorded with the first stable lineup after numerous changes, fronted by legendary vocalist Panther (who stepped in after original singer Gary Hodges's defection), this is violent, political, and as real as Oi! gets; one of the absolute classic LPs of the genre. Featuring studio recordings on side A and amped-up live versions of such Oi! classics as "A.C.A.B." and "Chaos" on side B, the album remains a coherent punk masterwork, which also happens to include -- in the first song of the LP, "Plastic Gangsters" -- one of the best British two-tone ska tracks of all time, composed and sung by 4 Skins' original drummer Gary Hitchcock. A classic LP reissued for a new generation of skins and punk/Oi! fans of all stripes. The first release on Radiation Deluxe Series, this classic punk LP is reissued on 180-gram vinyl in a deluxe 350-gram cardboard sleeve.
