It's just that I remember being a teenage reader of the weekly music press from about 1974 on, and Pursey contradicted himself about his roots, his take on punk and his musical tastes just about every time Sounds, NME or Melody Maker interviewed him. He came across as a bit of a chancer, although that didn't stop me going to several Sham gigs. .

A BIT of a chancer....!?

Mind you, That's life has to be one of the most fun and funny punk albums of the era?

I suspect he did, as PIL was formed by an ex-member of the Sex Pistols (and an ex-member of The Clash, if Keith Levene's informal arrangement could be called that)

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Chelsea - Generation X

I still remember what he called it in Sounds: "A concept album for ver punk kids".

Chelsea - Generation X

From 3 different directions, too.

True. Never did understand why the music press bought Tony James' bullshit. It's not like he didn't have form, is it?

Whaddayrecon to Carbon Silicon? I like it.

 

[mike desantos]

The Mob - Blyth Power


"Let the Tribe Increase" by the Mob is one the greatest British punk albums IMO

`Witch Hunt` is as relevant today as it was in the early 80s

 

[stupid dogbot]

Minor Threat - Dag Nasty - Fugazi

And Embrace.

 

[Orang Utan]

And Embrace.

wut?

Back at the beginning of the Millennium I was working on the (abortive) Malcolm McLaren for Mayor campaign. One morning there was only me and Alan McGee in the office. The phone rang. It was the Standard. Jimmy Pursey had just announced his support for Ken Livingstone and did we have any comment. Without prompting Al and I sang down the phone "Hurry up 'Arry, come on, we're all going down the pub."

Which I thought rather covered Jimmy Pursey's punk credentials just as effectively as it showed how much we were concerned about his opinion.

wut?

Not the Embrace you're thinking of, I suspect. Ian MacKaye's hardcore band between '85 and '86...

Released this gem:

As opposed to these twats:

 

[ericjarvis]

Mekons - The Waco Brothers, Pine Valley Cosmonauts, Wee Hairy Beasties, The Three Johns, Edward II and the Red Hot Polkas, blue blokes 3....and many more no doubt!

But did they ever manage to get their guitars in tune?
