It was a great statement, not violent just great British fashion. Where's fashion now? Great music, I was an original skinhead in '69, and I was so pleased when two tone came along and bands like the Specials brought it all back. Shame skinheads have been hijacked by the far right, not what the skinheads of '69 were all about.

I've got the 1980 Too Much Too Young single and Skinhead Moonstomp is the B-side which only features the back-end of the track, hence the title, also a live recording. Does anyone know what this studio version was released on? Its driving me nuts.
