Redskins - Don't Talk To Me About Whether. Recorded live at The Town & Country, London 22nd April 1986.

[@CORBYPUNK]

Oh what memories, The first gig i ever went to was the redskins at a miners benefit in corby in 85. the place was smashed up by dodgy skins, Shat the life out of me, but it hardened me up for a life of sabbing and demos and afa action. Half of me wishes they`d reform like neurotics et al, but half of me wants to keep these times special! Keep on keeping on!

[@paokwivenhoe]

Never caught them live. After all these years, still a part of my life. Thanks lads.

[@kevanhughes]

Apparently a lot of the posters aren't listening or know f**k all about the Redskins .... absolutely fantastic and speaks volumes about Britain in the polarized 80'S. Come back X Moore - your country needs you and your revolutionary spirit !

Greets from R.A.S.H Roma. No pasaran

[@gingerjoe1972]

Thanks for putting all these on, what a great song! Would be a dream if they reformed and toured!

[@33338899]

Oh glorious as ever Mr Dean; a band to live for

[@ChuckMcCannzen]

top band! It can be done!

[@ath8]

Redskins forever!!!!

[@MonkeyTMG]

Was at the this gig and always liked this song. They were hardly prolific song writers and trotted out the same set for years so this one was always welcomed around this time.

[@Redskins001]

The Redskins were more influenced by Soul & bands like The Clash than Ska or reggae. Although I do have a live audio bootleg of them doing 'Skinhead Moonstomp/The Liquidator' with Jerry Dammers on keyboard.

the style council, love it :D

[@billieredsocks]

Damn, they're good! Socialist soul-funk at its best! Thanks for posting.

[@Redskins001]

The Redskins never got round to recording this song in a studio. Redskins frontman Chris Dean did record a demo of it but this was probably done after the Redskins as Martin doesn't play the bass on the recording. Live versions are on the Redskins 'Epilogue' and 'Live' CDs.

[@Redskins001]

There's a demo version of the song but it doesn't feature any brass. There's also a live version of the song on the Redskins CD that Dojo records put out.

[@sfa2]

Top band and great clip - seeing them on youtube made me go looking for 'Neither...' on CD as my old tape of it was knackered - glad I did!

[@Redskins001]

There's a live version of the song available on the 'Redskins Live' CD that was released by Dojo records in the mid 90s. There's also a (as yet unreleased) demo of the song.

[@Madsupervilian]

wow sounds good and with substance.

[@BenevolentXMachine]

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

[@plasticrebellion725]

Sax Solo!!..Ray Carless?

[@Redskins001]

No more video footage from this gig. But on the same day BBC Radio 1 broadcast a few Redskins song from their earlier set. See link below - img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0011dk.jpg

I've got the Ted Chippington joke + the video to She Loves You which was on the same show but the quality of the video is very poor. But if you do a search on KZbin there are a few videos on here of Ted Chippington.

[@Seantroll]

oh nice thanks anyway

[@Seantroll]

this is a really good video anymore from this gig?

[@Redskins001]

Original skinheads listened to soul & ska and not oi. As for the fascists having good music I think you should make an appointment to have your ears syringed.

[@withtheglassesandthe]

Did they ever record this song? It's pretty damn good, but it's not on the Neither Washington Nor Moscow CD.

[@Nachoidess]

Where can I read about their lifes? The biography.

[@vkingiv6512]

why were they so keen to rush off stage like rapid? You see Chris Dean make a real quick exit, then Martin Hewes signals to the drummer to get off quick then Martin Hewes himself practically runs off stage, followed by the drummer literally jumping from his stool

[@dannysdaddio]

it was a TV recording that they messed up a number of times, running over the time allowed before the actual gig was supposed to start hence the rush...personally I blamed the conga player.

[@Redskins001]

Redskins are socialist skinheads. It's not Joe Strummer, but that is one of Joe Strummer old guitars that Chris Dean is using.

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

Weather, as in weather forecast.

[@plapta]

This is not included in Neither Washington nor Moscow right? Does this song belongs to another LP?

[@juks007]

i think it sounds not like early-reggae or ska, is it like boogie or something?
