Skinhead

[@sogooditsscary1]

My dad worked for the selector as a rodie!! Im only 14 but somehow i have been brought up to love this music and way of life!

[@drdexter]

three great tunes and lots of superb pics. Thank you for reminding me what good music sounds like...

[@percypalmer]

love the pics and music.I am was one of the first skin heads in Bournemouth, earley 1969 a B'mth towny skinhead. All this stuff is great to hear and see. Married my skinhead chick Jan in 1974, still together.

[@SpaceyStacey1975]

Oh gosh - the memories hahah. Great song choices. Made me need to dust off my old records!!

[@1960gal]

Squires,Catford and The Crystal Palace Hotel were my 'stomping' grounds for a good Friday night out. Great memories of early Madness gigs - we went all over the place: Camden, Leics, Canterbury, Rickmansworth. Hardest thing to believe is we got there on trains!! What a laugh. Now 47 and still love the original Ska. Saw Madness at the 02 in Dec - wish I hadn't been driving - only sober one there!!!

[@1960gal]

My sister and her then-b'friend got me into ska without even realising!! I was 9 in '69. Just have to look at a Trojan record label to smile: still love the music. My ol' man and our mates were skins in the 70s, so we followed Madness etc. Lots of laughs. Of course, I had all the original 45s/33rpms - Symarip, Tighten Up Vol 2 (now got on CD lol!), so thought I was all that haha! Still love a crop - just as well, my ol' man still has one!

[@paul67ism]

why was that identifed as being offensive , just some old photos and a bit of music !

[@gmashe]

absolutely awesome. the photos, the soundtrack. skanking myself silly!!!

[@1960gal]

Always makes me laugh at 0:33. Always reminds my ol' man of him and half the crowd having to remove their DMs before a football match. Pity the poor sod who ever ended up with his pair in error lol! Love the photos, love the memories, love the music. Thanks DMsii

[@CCast]

Wonderful, makes me miss the crop. Thanks for putting my picture up in there, makes me feel proud(and a tad bit old)

[@vaceltgal]

This was awesome! Thanks for the post! Thanks for sharing the photos!!!!

[@KeliBaB]

Must have been great times!! I wish we could still have that soul of you true skinheads...

[@GilbertSyndrome]

Quality tunes and quality snapshots, wish i could ave been there.

[@burns1961]

God this bring back some memories great days, bring em back.

[@dharmatrax]

Original suedehead 69. Kford skins. Dancing at the Summerhill, Kingfisher, L Shaped Room, Liberal Club. Thousands of skins at The Hawthorns Brummie Rd end. Butlins 1969 skins everywhere. Skinhead army. Tonic suits, red socks, Grensons or Loakes, 21in centre vents, 3 pointed hankies. Soul Stylists. Remembering Big John, Ronnie Knott, Carey and Donk. What a time we had. Magical!

[@Ianssouthern]

5 stars thanks for the memories.

[@1960gal]

Toooo true! One of my sister's went out with a skin around 1970 (he was gawjus, even if I was only 10!!). Lovel the clothes&music. Still got her vinyl LP Tighten Up Vol 2 &Vol 1&2 on CD now. And my brother sitting in the bath in Levis! And again in the late 70s with my (now) ol' man. We had jokes then and look back with a grin now. I'm a nan now, so like to remind myself I had a hectic social life...once!

[@stevetowers2520]

I used to be a skinhead and shave my head in the seventies! Now i'm just a Skinhead! no shaving required. it brings a tear to my eye! :-)

[@adecoaches26point4]

We were smooths to start with, wearing checked shirts,LEE jeans with small half inch turn ups with Brogues. which of course went into the classic skin clobber and by 1973 back to smooths again.

[@ancientoneuk]

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...

[@GothamzJoker]

Beautiful!

[@badajod]

yeah!! the originals skinheads!! skinheads! nices songs very good video;;

[@b0lkan]

you can still be a skin :)Even if it's not that big, it's still a culture. Working class, the music, the clothes..

[@adecoaches26point4]

Great video, Started off as a Mod, but turned skin in 1966, reasons I liked the clobber, Crombie/Harrington and the music, not forgetting the SX200 and of course the great bunch of mates. Were not rasist, used to hang out at the local West Indian clubs for the music. Local area Rugby/Coventry. Used to seem to have a lot of trouble keeping the Greasers under control. Cheers for the pictures and music. David

You're very welcome! Also give a listen to Toots & the Maytals 'Sweet & Dandy'--part of it was featured in Jimmy Cliff's film 'The Harder They Come'--if you have not yet seen it, you must!--Cheers

[@adecoaches26point4]

A lot of us Started off as mods before turning skinhead. We were into early Motown and would get to any Geno Washington gig we could. West Indian social clubs were also a must for the best music. David

[@TheSuparks]

Sweet ska - happy days :)

[@ambergris08]

i feel deep within my bossome that we need to unit as loving spritis of ourselves. GREAT ALMIGHTY. there are no colors in this world my brothers of light and good things, there is a place witha stream that leads all souls entranced by the benevolent one down toward a cleansing place of beauty and equality and this place, this...stream...it-helps...and this streams bio-geographical location is deep within the fibers of our most sacred and primordial sense. Im talking about the heart my brothers.
