OHL, the pioneers of “hardcore punk”, attracted maximum attention with their debut album “Heimatfront” in 1981, which was partly due to their polarizing lyrics. Titles like “Germany”, “Kernkraftknight”, “We are the Unrepaired” or “Embassy Song”, which openly called for the storming of the American embassy, ​​did the rest to spread the word in all ideological directions. However, this was not well received by hotheads on the left and right. When the record was made in the early 1980s, punks were already oriented towards the left of the political spectrum, while skinheads were committed to the right. Although the band was considered “Nazis” by leftists and “ticks” by rightists, the Supreme Army Command, or rather their mastermind Deutscher W, never let themselves be dissuaded from their chosen path – always go straight, never turn! Ok, these days certain concessions are necessary in order to get a foot on the ground in the left-green, polluted cultural world, but what does it matter to the enterprising record collector who wants to complete his personal vinyl oeuvre with this repress?

Released on LP in 1986 and re-released on CD in 1995, this patriotic British Oi! Tape. Incidentally, “England’s Glory” was recorded and mixed by none other than Mark Sutherland in the legendary “Bunker Croydon” recording studio. Sutherland has already brought his musical expertise to bear on other important records (including serving as Skrewdriver drummer on their “Hail the New Dawn” album). Unfortunately, “England’s Glory” has been somewhat forgotten between all the releases back then, which does a complete injustice to the musical achievements of this band. Reason enough to release “England’s Glory” on vinyl again!

The disc contains a total of eight songs from the band Skrewdriver’s work. Then as now, it was by no means a regular LP, but rather a compilation of songs from singles and samplers from the period 1977 to 1987. Compared to the original, two songs that were index-relevant on other Skrewdriver recordings had to be removed from this disc. “I don’t like you” and “Boots & Braces” flew down, “Shove the dove” and “Smash the I.R.A.” were newly added.

In the 1980s, France produced a number of impressive Oi! bands that stood out for their energy, authenticity and passion. One of the most outstanding representatives of this genre was undoubtedly the formation, which originally consisted of three brothers – Didier (vocals), Boni (drums) and Manu (bass) – as well as a childhood friend, Fred (guitar). Their 1986 record “Quand Le Soleil Se Levera” (Eng: When the Sun Rises) is a milestone of the French Oi!. Recorded in Lille, the band’s hometown, the album combines raw Oi!/Punk with catchy melodies and engaging lyrics. Classics like “Ces Annes La”, “Europe” and “Clockwork Orange” show the group’s versatility and their ability to captivate the listener.

Thematically oriented Sturmwehr album that focuses primarily on the Ruhr area. But of course the ever-popular and succinct right-wing rock anthems shouldn’t be missing here either. The songs are all pounded forward with fury in a brilliant, crystal-clear sound.

Do we have Christmas yet? Not yet, but the white Christmas is casting its shadows ahead. This is part 1 of the Klansmen trilogy. As is well known, Klansmen was a studio project consisting of Ian Stuart Donaldson (Skrewdriver) and other well-known musicians from the subcultural English music scene. For legal reasons, no specific names are mentioned here, but anyone who knows a little about the music scene at the time and has kept an eye on the music scene at the time knows that at least one person from a well-known Psycho Billy band was involved here.

Vengeance was a RAC band, an anti-communist Oi/punk band from Norwich, founded in 1985. With Daz on vocals, Tim on guitar, Rach on bass and Tom on drums, the band expressed their political views in raw sounds. Before their debut LP “Forward into War” in 1988, two demo tapes with different line-ups were released in 1986 and 1987.

Side A of the disc contains the two street rock’n’roll singles SRR 003 and SRR 004 with alternative versions of the songs “Fight for your Life”, “Working Class Hero”, “I don’t wanna know” and “Vengeance”, and the sampler track “Pride and Pain” is also included. The B-side contains the album recordings “Fight for your Life”, “Working Class Hero” and “I don’t wanna know” for direct comparison.

The band, founded in Gütersloh in 1988, shone in 1991 with their second (mini) album entitled “Schlachtruf”. Although there were only seven songs on this disc, it represented a good bridge until the next full album, which was released in 1992 under the title “Eternal Scars” and at the same time marked the end of the East Westphalian music group’s musical activities. So if you want to indulge in the Pogo wise men of the time again, garnished with the criminally harmless pieces from the first LP “Vereint”, you’ve come to the right place and should grab it immediately, because as we all know, life punishes anyone who comes too late. Everything in the best vinyl sound quality (no side longer than 20 minutes)!

When this LP first saw the light of day in 1992, few people had any idea what a highly potential work was coming onto the market. Within a very short time, this album began a triumph that was unparalleled. In just a few weeks, the band’s songs caught up with the top groups in the scene at the time and had a lot to offer musically and lyrically, which of course didn’t go unnoticed by the state authorities. The following year, the disc “The Last Heroes” was classified as harmful to minors and disappeared from the market.
