Give em enough rope was produced by Sandy Pearlman who was the manager/svengali/collaborator of B.O.C.
You can definately hear some kind of influence on there!

Going back to the earlier post about rockers-mods-punks-skins......etc.

I recall between 1978-80 catching the bus into Derby most saturdays to shop for records and quite regularly being chased by mods and one time actually having to barricade ourselves in siren records from the baying fishtailed throng!
My Who badge apparently should not have been sitting next to a Hawkwind badge on my leather+of course my hair being halfway down my back did'nt help!

Grebs and punks tended to stick together+ the oi skins too, with the mods and ska skins being the enemy!

Went to many punk gigs with no hassle at all apart from The christmas on earth punk fest in leeds when it was wall to wall rioting with the birmingham punks and skins!

Identity back then seamt to mean everything and the adrenaline created from just going shopping was unreal!
Great days!

I know this is a bit off the beaten track of this thread but memory was jogged and thought i would share!
anybody else with similar memories?
