Supercharged, dynamic, Punk, Funk, Rockabilly Agitpop from Skin Patrol in 1980, restored and remastered from a PA desk mix cassette. The Ajanta Cinema put on many punk and post-punk bands at the time, including Joy Division, Psychedelic Furs, Crass and Throbbing Gristle, all bands we loved. It closed after one particularly riotous gig where the seats were ripped out and thrown on stage, not us, honestly.

Recorded live (desk mix) at the Ajanta Cinema, Derby, in 1980, this legendary gig captures this period of Skin Patrol at their best. On the bill with Anti-Pasti, the audience didn’t quite get what they were expecting, hit with a potent mix of funk, punk, and agitpop via Captain Beefheart, The Doors and The Pop Group. The select few of the audience who knew what they were in for loved it. The majority waiting for identikit punk loathed it; they hated us in silence (mostly), and we hated them. The perfect gig at that time.
