OMG, so many memories come flooding back, the "run" at Southend (in the vid), the calm before the storm at Brighton (couple pics there too), Tooting Castle on a friday, smacking Mod's up on the saturday in Carnaby Street...

Ol' Terry's Last Resort, drinking it up with chubby chris at the Blue Coat Boy... Hehe Anyone remember Norma Green, when she marked your card, you didn't dare say no cos she was scary... her sister was gorgeous ^^

I also remember what Busta did at the 1984 IoW rally...

[oikid3]

Oi oi, the moped lads!

Good ol' Joe Hawkins

[tomosbananas]

wrong music mate. how bout some Sham 69?

[mick2903]

The musics spot on, most of these look like original photos. Sham 69 don't appear while about 10 years later. It all got spoilt by racists and glue sniffers, when it first started there was nothing better.

[Strk3oed]

cool i saw an black skinhead in that picture so they aren't racist?

[tomosbananas]

ya i've seen black skins also. ever heard of S.H.A.R.P? Skin Heads Against Racial Prejustice

[cockneysontour]

The original skinheads of 1968/69 were never racist as we used hang around the black clubs as that is the only place at first where you could hear reggae music! The racist nonsense came from the media as usual and then the idiots followed years later. Great era, probably the last original era of the UK!!!

[mickyp4]

SPOT ON SQUIRE, I WAS THERE!MP

[alexmooreshake]

Polska Oi!!! long live rudie

[novaface]

skin chix <33

[lukeydoeslikey]

skins weren,t racist they liked black people regga was the in music at the time.just when skins came back in the 80s those idiots made skin racist and glue sniffers.

[Sedes1125]

from where you get those photos dude? Very nice job:) Oi!!

[bluesandtwos999]

I can't quite get the link skinheads and scooters certainly not in my time as a skinhead middle to late 60's..

[MijonococoxD]

cool man =D

[magich8ball]

Oi n cheers from Boston MA

[Heartoffglass]

my dad was a skinhead =D

when i got my first pair of dr martens, he was so proud lol =)

[allroundpower]

Wasted so much time fighting skinheads in my youth. I should have realised they were just racist whites or football thugs cos I never really checked that they loved our music.

[Revolt1969]

SKINHEADS AL ANDALUS :D

[elniko240]

great song!!!! izzy stradlin and the ju ju hounds did a pretty great cover of this song as well.....

[0o0StrangeGirl0o0]

[mick2903]

Second songs Liquidator - Harry J All Stars

[onecarehere]

the original skins seem pretty down 2 earth.

[sitro74]

The Song is by Toots and the Maytals. The Clash covered it. It's called "Pressure Drop" for those asking. GREAT VIDEO!!!

[rojillohh]

that is the grup ande this song?

real skinheads are not racist

[voncheezy]

what do the real skinheads represent? i never knew there were actual anti-racist skinheads. and it's even more surprising that they were the originals

[jonasz1992]

what ist that first song please tell me blased ya!!!

[Enquiringmind777]

Do you get the feeling you're gonna feature on these old Skinhead videos. I certainly do, I mean we all looked alike, and I know I was in the frame.

[tonsils77]

[quadcamchoppa01]

just wondering i spent about 5-6 years around chitown in the punk / skin scene.

and im being honest due to a lack of knowledge... if the skin thing started out working class did they become sharp to try to fight the bad rap of the boneheads? feel free to email with any real answers

[bluwooforme]

skinhead, skinhead over there,

what its like to have no hair,

two black eyes and a broken nose,

thats the way the aggro goes.

[NuKraxe79]

This video makes me feel good. Keep on living!!

[Thecityslicker]

This tune is 'ucking awsome.. Always was my best Toots tune.

Check out my short film 'The Beat recorded live at southsea pier'

And keep on keeping on

[skamecanic]

arriba el espiritu del 69

[Declan50]

Richard Allen novels - I'm just a little curious, how do the Richard Allen novels read? Are they good stories? Can you get them on EBAY???

[bolloxinator]

Richard Allen was a very old geezer from the west country who did a bit of research, talking to a few London Skins, and decided to make some easy money writing novels about a fictional skin called "Joe Hawkins". Allen had Hawkins down as a racist rolling stones fan. The novels aren't great, you'd be better off reading stuff written by actual original skins.

[umbra66688]

cheers and beers from germany

[OirishSkin]

Ah the real boot boys fun loving working class skins hats off to this video

[Bolly558]

Long may Skinheads, Mods, Scooterists and Soulies reign forever. Keep The Faith for all time. Some Great tracks on here thanks for posting. Those Great days can never return. But we can keep dreaming....

[LorraniIV]

Thank you for doing this, it's just great, now, i can just say to does bastards "Listen, if ya don't know what a skinhead is, go on youtube, type "Skinhead" and find the one with 7min50sec" it's just perfect, Long life skinhead and MODS, long live our culture and our way of life!

P.S: To does how don't know, real skins don't like racists, or hippies ;D

[smcl17]

Beautiful!!!! If We had to explain, you wouldn't understand!

[ccperkins21]

I'm curious to know how skinheads transformed to a hate group. How could it go from something so cultural and positive to something that is so racially biased?

[oilslinger]

they didnt. those skinheads only call themselves skinheads. they are nothing but culture-thieve. we dont call them skinheads, we call em boneheads or shitheads. there are still REAL skinheads out there but you never hear about them in the media because there not violent assholes for the most part. some are though

[Nipper79]

jointops tut tut get out more.just because you dont see it doesnt mean its not there. Skinhead.still stomping.

[Umskiddy]

Oh yes! This is the real thing.Thanks for loading this up.

[56indy]

great vid with some good old photos, anyone have any ideas where i might be able to get a copy of the opening photo of the 3 original skinheads with the wording underneath,

[barkingbill014]

I was born in the Bush in 1952 & grew up as a skin, running with the Shed, Brighton, first ever concert by Desmond in Uk etc. In my days, skins had no hair(hence skin!!!) and razor partings. Most of your pics are of suedes but they do bring back fantastic memories! I still brush off the Skinhead Moonstomp vinyl & play it. Saw Bad Manners in Maidstone last year, Buster still brilliant. Best days of my life.

[loveadiccion]

[admanphoto]

Original skins 1969. The Nazi skins in the 80s were a fucking joke. Claimed to be English patriots, yet loved that little Adolph guy with stupid moustache. Go figure! LOL!

[StreetsMcGoo]

I wasn't aware that skinheads started out as pussycats-I mean that in the most respectful way possible seriously. I would have liked being one old school style-ie before it got racial. Ya learn something new everyday. Lol

[Peulea]

[KingWestringBochum]

gulbalo adolf nazi fouzl yarrako fak skinhet

[brittishbully]

Can't stand the new epidemic of Black Violent Rapsters (American Style)think it's cool to get a gun and shoot it off, tag a building, Crackheads, Prostitution. Nothing against "blacks" but have serious concerns over those (white or black) trying to be Gangbangers. Wish the punk scene was back.

[apokalypse91]

smarte sache  OI!

[ZincBoss]

In Britain we have been getting to grips with racism for decades, but with the influx of Eastern Europeans to these shores the solution is harder than before as these people can be extremely racsist. Unresolved issues dating from WW2 and the former Soviet Union I believe are responsible.

[TheFamousGrouseSwe]

This is to all Skinheads: Why be nazi and hate all who not are white.

Why be sharp to fight nazi? let the nazi have there opinions and we our own. I'm skinhead but i nither sharp or nazi. I'm just a skinhead! let hope that it's more then just me who are that way.

[skilartiBelgic]

Traditional Skins!

Fuck politics
