Skin Patrol Live at The Ajanta Cinema, 1980

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.
