Now volume 2 and this thing is a monster, weighing in at 476 pages. While the first one covered the ’75-’80 leadup (Sham, Sparrer, Upstarts etc), this is substantially bigger but still focuses almost completely on 1981-82, with a bit of ’83 as the movement wound down. Unrivaled in-depth coverage via contemporary reviews, interviews, fanzine pieces, ads, flyers, newspaper articles and more—you won’t find a more exhaustive primary source treatment of early eighties UK oi/new punk than this. Blitz, 4 Skins, The Business, Cockney Rejects, Last Resort, Cock Sparrer, Combat 84, Angelic Upstarts, Infa Riot etc.
