[IAIN]

GOT THIS THE OTHER DAY. SOME REALLY GOOD STUFF IN IT. BEST PUNK BOOK IN A WHILE, PACKED FULL OF GOOD STUFF

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Where'd you get it from?

 

[IAIN]

GOT IT IN LONDON, BUT I THINK U CAN GET IT ON AMAZON OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, FOR 10 STERLING, FREE POSTAGE TO UK ONLY I THINK,
ITS DEFINATLY WORTH GETTING IF UR INTO IT. IT REALLY GIVES U THE WHOLE HISTORY OF THE BANDS

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Hopefully it'll show up in the shops here soon.

I don't have a credit card so can't order online. I got his last book in easons so this one'll show up.
The last one was a handy reference but could have done with better discography's etc. I imagine this one will be much the same. Lance Hahn should compile the articles on anarcho bands he's been doing in mrr. I've heard rumours he will but nothing solid.

 

[IAIN]

I DIDNT GET BURNING BRITAIN YET , GOT THE CRASS BOOK HE DID BUT THIS IS DEFINATELY COMPLETE, AND HAS DISCOGRAPHY AT THE END OF EACH BAND

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Burning Britain has discography's,but they are only reall of the key releases and don't have the ever essential pressing info . Shame really.

I will bring my camera on Friday and photo each page.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I knew I could count on you Janer. Maybe you could read it and put it on youtube? That would be really good.

 

[IAIN]

HAHA. WELL I COULD SCAN IN THE BEST ONES. ONLY READ CONFLICT AND OI POLLOI SO FAR, EARLY OI POLLOI LYRICS "skinhead on his own, head shaved to the bone, writing skinhead slogans on a public phone " WAS PRETTY FUNNY, AND THE DISCOG SAYS SELECTED DISCOG SO IT MIGHT NOT SATISFY UR CRAVINGS ENOUGH

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Don't get me wrong. I'll still buy it and am quite looking forward to reading it. The next in the series is the one I'm looking forward to most,ukhc.

 

[Riff Raff]

This is quite a good read and i heard there may be another book in the pipeline with anarcho stuff from 84 up to the present

 

[Corm]

Really looking forward to this, Burning Britain was fuckin excellent and there's more of the stuff I'm really into in this... Is the same author going to do the UKHC one do you know, Gary? I heard a while ago about Lance Hahn doing a similar book on punk-band-history.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Ian Glasper for them all.
If Lance does a book it'll most likely be his articles in mrr compiled.
