[DXPunx74]

What sux is that America needed that shot in the arm, but this country waters everything down and only accepts what theyre told. (Save for a few)

[erinbardwell]

Spot on - that sums it up for ME!!

[ImaniHekima]

I want to see the whole documentary, brilliant!

[dogsbolls]

God I feel old, great days

[EDWARDKILE]

I was S.H.A.R.P. Ed Moffett here!

[Elinformalpodcast]

como se llama el documental???

[admanphoto]

A lot of this vid reminds me of mid/late 1970 and suedeheads. where we all started to grow our hair longer and wear crombies. Still a good vid though.

[MarcosLogiotatos]

I love it when adults try to analyze youth culture.

[HeatProtection]

that sort of dancing is called the DAD dance now ;) lol

[yinzjagoffs]

Skinhead was just a word given by the media. They were just a bunch of inner city, short hair, aggro loving kids that lessened to black music. Today their called wiggers or chaves.

[Noonday100]

Skinheads; Never in the history of mankind has so much bollocks been expressed by so many people about a relatively small group of youths - on both sides of the political divide. Unless you were there, at the time, in London, in the 60s, your opinion about "Skinhead culture" amounts to a hill of bean. Complete fucking zilch in other words!

[MrCaptainfun]

Skinheads were definitely working class and not really political - reggae music was a huge part of it but so was 'paki-bashing' - the music was fabulous but let's be honest it wasn't a movement strong on intellectualism.

[slickmon]

as humans we're all fucked. we hate one another, we over react to each other, we all claim this or that as our own. mod rocker skin punk who gives a shit. we all grow old together. lets raise our lil rocker mod punk skin kids right and mabe they will live glory days better than we did.

[TheJosema99]

good times

[JohnBWFC1955]

1969 was the year the Skinhead trend hit Bolton, Lancs. No way were we racist, it was just that the Asians along with hippies, greasers etc were all in the firing line for aggro. The football terrace only lent itself as a platform to meet/challenge opposing fans. The look was clean, crisp and really smart. I stil hanker after the look and my love of reggae is still as strong as ever.

[Feisty1967]

Those haircuts didn't look skinhead, they were quite long. However, I do prefer the early '70s skinheads who were into the Ska and reggae music to the later version which were taken over by Facism, that wasn't the original idea of Skinheads.

[LIVERLADD]

Bloody middle class kids

[heywoodejerblowme]

I left London in the early 60s but was the skinhead movement anti black or what?I did remember that wonderful bloke Desmond Dekker.Think ska music was the precuser to reggae.Any info would be welcome.

[pamabosssounds]

great video about the real SKINHEADs!

[blumenthol]

niggas and nigga lovers - GOODBYE ENGLAND - FOREVER

[CyberHackersOrg]

MODS.

[RedBryn]

Brewed in Jamaica, fermented in England, & 100% proof working class by volume!

[TheSaxon88]

they were all mods not skinheads

[jontibloom]

Isn't that our beloved newsreader Trevor MacDonald narrating ?

[newlunar]

@jontibloom No mate, it sounds like Trev but I'm sure it's the white bloke who narrated on an earlier Pathe news production called This is Ska! filmed in Jamaica. F**cked if I know his name though.

[cook119]

That girl dancing was sexy as fuck. Its funny only dance hall music beings out the best moves.

[DrWhiggs]

@cook119 What? This is TERRIBLE dancing.

[cook119]

@DrWhiggs 0:27 is beautiful cool and sexy

[mikeytheskinhead]

[wtfhellas]

damn its actually a pretty good explenation of what ska is and who the original skinheads were.

[Wilthomer66]

This footage is great!

[bradgotch]

Seanpdaly. too bad not many people see that. Cheers to good music, good culture.

[hitmanisbackmk2]

great good memories

[seanpdaly]

The skinhead was all about the music and clothes and there was no race prejudice. It was not until the football fans took on the image that it turned into a fascist white power image!. I was a skinhead and hate the way something so good was ruined... so good because it did not care about race creed class.

[SteveGad]

Well said, I'll second every sentiment you wrote buddy. Real Skins love the music and have a deep appreciation of exactly where it comes from.

[ricwool]

@seanpdaly amen to that !

[hetrodoxly]

@seanpdaly

skinhead started in football grounds, London dockers who shaved their heads rolled up their trousers to stop rats running up them would go to the match straight after work on saturdays the kids started to copy them.

[jollyroger1889]

@seanpdaly I was a skinhead too, and there was racism...we hated third world migrants, especially asians flooding into the UK and changing the indigenous working class communities. Nazism was never part of the early skinhead scene, but racial pride in being English was a big part of it. The boots represented pride in our working class roots, and the classy jackets and trousers and brogues, etc, represented traditional English male style. It was all about pride, not being a self-hating lefty.

[1marystuart]

@jollyroger1889  did not like hippies or greasers old Carlisle boots!!

[123bullybeef]

@seanpdaly Fuck all to do with football. Near;y every top firm throughout the years had top table lads who were black and a couple of clubs had some Asians. The political groups from both wngs just saw potential in youth to exploit and recruited often at the football due to the mass of workig class kids at these venues.

[tim74660]

What a load of psyco babble. Ska was turning into Roots at this time.

[acdeucee]

We called this the rebel dance a go-go

[bosssounds1969]

Bloody brilliant, this is from the brixton reggae festival 1970 i think.

Dick Emery, RIP, we had the best comedians in the world. If anyone wants to trade dvd ect hit me up.

[migsluck1]

[pinky5446]

Thanks

[paulpayback]

The footage is from a film called simply 'Reggae' it was shot in 69/70 and had a cinema release.Shot on location in London it also features a concert at Wembley featuring John Holt,Bob and Marcia amongst others.Classic!

[richiskateboards]

pij@s¿?

anda mejor no comentes paleto que eres un paleto... xk eran pij@s porque no iban rapados al 2 o al 1¿?¿

[alejandretero]

pos no veo yo muchos skinheads por ahi..mas bien veo un monton de pij@s..pero guay el video clasico..

[BovverViolent]

yo si veo varios

[floppybollox3]

Pues tio te digo, eso como era el movimento donde nacio en mi país hace años, y sí que había skins así, la chica que baila de puta madre es una skin. Black and White Unite, UK for ever!

[popsiepussycat]

In this vid there are people of every colour enjoying the music and dancing together... my friend refuses to come to any of the ska gigs I go to, because she was chased around Hatfield Town Centre in the mid to late 70s by a bunch of skinheads!!! She is scared shitless... but I have tried to explain it isnt about that ... never was... but she wont have it...

[theclubseen]

The Suedes look awesome - shame we ended up with such racist bastard sons of them in the late 70's.

[floppybollox3]

Everything got fucked over by the NF, but true Skins never die, my brother was one of the fist (but he did die).

[shadowhalfcast]

aye, jerry i think you are right about it prob being stuart hall, good call.

[shadowhalfcast]

is that dick hebridge who wrote subcultures talking?

[JerryX68]

Nah, that's deffo not Dick Hebdige mate. Just a guess, but I reckon it might be Stuart Hall. This captures - like nothing else I've seen - that transitionary moment when mod culture slipped into a suedehead/skinhead groove. Amazing how modish most of that lot look - even in 69/70 when the middle class ippies were all long hair n dope man. Where the fck did this footage come from? It's dynamite!

[jonthegoon]

Jerry - Did the distinction between suedehead and skinhead exist at the time or is that a retrospective thing?

[fatskin1]

I am 50 now. I remember skinheads growing an inch of hair and declaring themselves suedeheads.

[jontibloom]

Is that Sir Trevor narrating ?

[polaroideye]

I love Symarip, great video!!!

[GilSon1k]

Yeah! That's the spirit of '69.

Real skinheads!

Thannx K.

Gil

[bigaln1971]

[bigaln1971]

[admanphoto]

Never saw a number 1 crop throughout the video!

[BilstonOi]

Well the dancing aint changed that much....it's just that hoping about to that ska-punk aint real skanking at all!

[djilam2]

[followingmypath]

This is really fun, seeing the 70tie's!

The dancing sure changed during the last couple of years! LOL!

[oramikleepunk]

The blacks and whites could dance back then.

[2007jack1985]

but i may be wrong, i was born a bit late, im only 16. But i do live in the past(in which idid not live)

[2007jack1985]

skinhead moonstomp was ska wasnt it?

[pythongoon]

2007jack1985,

skinhead moonstomp is reggae,not ska.

[onestep11]

jack jack jack ska comes from reggae and blues old stuff but never mind you get in to it you will love it im 46 on mon and still love it good look mate

[electricitycomesfrom]

Reggae comes from Ska and rocksteady man. Skas been around simce the late 50's and reggae since the mid 60's. I'm only 22 and even I know that.

[DickStainy]

Not just any Reggae - Skinhead Reggae.

[Shuto123]

Skinheads were working class white youth never middle class. They recognised the similarities between themselves and the black youth. This was a great time I know I was there, it will come again.Great clip love the girl dancing if only!

[benjaxbens]

[pythongoon]

Skintasticrudegirl - "Skinhead Moonstomp" by Symarip. Widely available on various Trojan compilations.

[kathistefan]

stay rude, stay rebbel and think SHARP!!!

[Crazymike00]

fuck sharp man

just another fascist organization like the ayran brother hood, just with different goals, doesn't make it any better.

[pythongoon]

I dont support SHARP,but they are there for good reason.The facists have hi-jacked the movement and that pisses many people off,including me.

[rightforkoff]

Crap!! You weren't there in 69. you were born thirty odd years to late in the wrong country.

[skatasticrudegirl]

what's the song?

i've heard it multiple times but i don't know what it is

[Crazymike00]

im pretty sure its called skinhead moonstomp

[skatasticrudegirl]
