The Mob - Witch Hunt

[ChuckyDoll10]

Sounds similar to The Cramps, The Ramones, even Black Sabbath. Not bad at all.

[cuzandjo]

Great band!!



[PhilLeggPersonal]

Hey Marc - Phil here - Big Love as always . . . . Who'd-of thought

[AJvolocity34]

Hell, yeah! I haven't heard this song in years but it would still pop into my head at random times throughout all this time. You know when a song influences your life when it stays with you and comes to mind when faced with situations that are talked about in it. Being a misfit all my life, I can relate to this song. Punk for Life and passing it on to my son.

[roamnet]

STILL LIVING WITH THAT YANKEE FEAR...NY POST.. WAITING FOR THE WITCH HUNT AND BURNING DEAR LMAO...J KONTRA...NYC VIRUS!

[RoyHanney]

Seem to remember seeing The Mob at Stonehenge Free Festival around 1978 think it was them they were all about 14 at the time and brilliant certainly made a change from all the hippie music.

[Richmond1966]

Fulham Greyhound all those years ago . . . . 

[Hellishhorse]

THE MOB ARE PLAYING AT THE FLEECE AND FIRKIN IN BRISTOL ON THE 8TH APRIL WITH ZOUNDS.............!

[flachi32]

This song doesn't need a video

[Hellishhorse]

I see The Mob are touring with Zounds soon..........what do you reckon?

[DarthFadder]

@Hellishhorse

Really? When and where exactly? Can you give me a link with the tour dates? It would be MUCH appreciated!

[Hellishhorse]

Phew!- after much searching [An Ex-whitesnake band called The Mob and a hard core "punk" band from the states called The Mob!].........it is confirmed that this The Mob ARE playing together with Zounds for the first time since '82 at the Fleece and Firkin in Bristol on the 8th of April [see Zounds Myspace thingy]. Hope you can make it.H.Hx.

[verevereful]

[UnicornFlavors]

Stubbing out progress where seeds are sewn.

Killing off anything that's not quite known.

Sitting around in a nice home - Waiting for the witch hunt.

Ideal plans for the idol rich - Knitting the economy, not dropping a stitch.

Destroying anything that doesn't quite fit - Waiting for the Witch Hunt.

Still living with the English fear, waiting for the witch hunt dear. (x2)

Changing your course for another way - You better stop that or be willing to pay.

Nevermind son you'll come around some day.

[subscooby]

@UnicornFlavors Thanks for the lyrics. Is it not 'Idle plans for the idle rich' then? I think I preferred it when I thought that's what the lyric was...

[UnicornFlavors]

@subscooby

I think you're right, those aren't all of the lyrics.. but it just repeats some of the lines from earlier in the songs.

[hascatty]

@subscooby yes its idle plans for the idol rich....believe me i wrote it......:-)

[Nothefaceyoubitch]

@hascatty misheard lyrics are great, though. That's the thing with art, once you put it out there, people tend to make it their own.

[hascatty]

its idle plans...i know...i wrote it

[verevereful]

@hascatty any chance of getting us in on april 8th then?

[UnicornFlavors]

Mike Virus and I agree..

This is an amazing record.

[howlingmongoose]

@UnicornFlavors of course you agree with mike virus you fucking tool

[danpf65]

Will never forget the first time I heard this amazingly dark and passionate album.

[pierrebugblatter]

My bass player threw up over Marks feet @ one gig in islington; as anyone who ever saw/knew the mob will tell you, Mark went everywhere barefoot so it wasnt such a great night for him that night

[Loobs666]

'Destroying anything that doesn't quite fit'... Sound familiar? It could be the NF, The BNP or the UAF (a bunch of violent fuckers who, ironically have become the most Facistic Witch-Hunters in the country). There's no Fanatic like a Politically Correct Fanatic!

[veganswines]

cool song

[223mattieu]

Great song. Great band. Brings back lots of memorys.

[sugarkaneandchloe]

Still me.Still teh same. These songs are ME <3 xxx

[ZLUGGO]

Unforgettable. Great song!

[ceejaypeemac]

@philchelt unfortunately Wiz passed away in Dec 2006. R.I.P

[smifffff747]

we're all still out here. Older but no less anarcho. it's the revolution of everyday life and I'll teach my kids.

[MediaHoax]

I wish my parents had done that !!

As a kid I never understood people like you.

I did not understand life, only myself a bit.

But now I understand after Zeitgeist, and after that David Icke and Alex Jones teached me some beginning in opening eyes....

Still do not believe in aliens and shapeshifters tho. That's something that has to be seen in a bit more figurative way i think.

[halfcabdisaster7]

If they rebelled against you would that mean they are conformists?

[smifffff747]

@halfcabdisaster7

lol. maybe. not got my head round that one yet. My stock response is 'rebel you fuckers and why are you even listening to me'.

[Rawlinson18]

@philchelt One coming up mate.

[Rawlinson18]

@philchelt Nice one, dya wana be my friend?

[Rawlinson18]

@philchelt LOL have you been drinking?

[Rawlinson18]

@philchelt Yes i think they made quite an impact back in the day,i've found let the tribe increase in alot of vinyl collections. The mob doing a gig would be a definite go to on my list and i think alot of others.

[Rawlinson18]

@philchelt What's he doing these days?

[magicspidercat]

still victims of the fucking witch hunt....beware if u are a user they will hunt you down and erase your ass...love you mark timeless classic

[jonosprog]

best hippy/punk from the 80's

[luwezi]

Still Relevant! Great song from a great band!

I sometimes wonder if bands like the Mob realise just how influential they were! Forever Grateful

[MrStoatgobbler]

Yes this is the original single version from 1980 - the LP version is crap in comparison. Scream courtesy of Geoff, as used as the answerphone message for All The Madmen records..

[Tesco38]

one of the most important albums of my teens..still have the original scratched warped vinyl

[JusticekneeWilypig]

Thank you for uploading this.

Do you have any more of The Mob you could allow access of to the masses? (me)

[Rawlinson18]

Saw them at the Fulham greyhound about 83, the singer Mark was awesome, looked like a soap infested dreadlocker and they'd have this older bloke in a beret throwing flowers about, often wondered where they all are now.

[Bookman103]

The older bloke was Raymond, a veteran of the Budapest uprising. "Everybody loves zi Mob!"

[Rawlinson18]

Thanks for that, myself and another YT user realised we both saw The mob at the Fulhan greyhound in 83 and we both remember him and wondered who he was, Cheers.

[anarconcho]

fucking great album! great post!

put up 'Mirror Breaks' perhaps?

:)

[Pruneau]

Thanks for this one, saw them live in Antwerp, great band.

[ZLUGGO]

Amazing song that I remember from the 80's.

[baxzy]

Brilliant, Unfu.kinggbelievable!

[roamnet]

[xobri34324]

[ThePunkPostPunkTribe]

yes, in the let the tribe increase cd there are 2 available :)

[fuktheusa]

Yeah - this is the Lp version, The other one is the single version. Both are great.

[OuroBoss71]

Is this the original version?

It sounds kinda different somehow, It's been a long time since I last heard it, so maybe I was just really really off my tits back then??

[obscura1980]

yes it's the original version and that's the cover of the album

[EcstasyandVendetta]

Idle plans for the idol rich

kicking the economy without dropping a stitch

destroying anything that doesn't quite fit

Waiting for the witch hunt

Still living with the English fear
