Hi,
Anyone have the lyrics to The Peasant Army?
All the best.

I've asked Martin from the band and even he can't remember them. The band Peasant Army covered that track on the Redskins tribute album 'Reds Strike The Blues' but they weren't 100% sure of the lyrics either. The Redskins tribute album is still available to order from CD Baby if anyone wants a copy - www.cdbaby.com/redskins

Also, I'm still after the promo video for Peasant Army if anyone has a copy.

I've got a demo bootleg and the version of PA on that is smoking fucking hot. Anyone else own this LP? It's got "Soviet" style artwork on the front which I believe was taken from a UB40 LP and a pic of the band on the back with the caption "Swing to the left with the Redskins". It's an amazing record, don't know the story behind it or who put it out though.

It's an amazing record, don't know the story behind it or who put it out though. 'Rarities' is a German bootleg album that came out in the late 90s. The Redskins had nothing to do with the album and didn't even know about it. I had 2 copies so I passed one onto Martin Hewes. The photo on the back is from and old music mag (Sounds I think or maybe NME) and the articlke was wrote by Paul Wellings who was in the band Anti-Social Workers. The version of 'Peasant Army' on the 'Rarities' album is taken from the 'Lev Bronstein' single and not the Peel Session. The title of the bootleg album 'Rarities' is alo slightly misleading as only one track off the album (The live version of 'Turnin' Loose') hadn't been released before. There's also a bootleg video out of the Redskins that uses the same cover as the album but I've not got a copy myself.

>>> There's also a bootleg video out of the Redskins that >>> uses the same cover as the album but I've not got a >>> copy myself. Bazza, I have got a copy of this video comp. It is of awful bad quality and I will have to watch it completely to be able to tell You what it includes. What I remember is Beating The Blues and Whatever You didn't get, but there is more stuff on it. The cover is slightly different from the one of the bootleg album. It came out earlier than the record, I bought it around 1993 from a french skinhead stuff distro of a bloke nicknamed "Freddy Skarface" who was at the time running a fanzine and singer of a ska-band under the same name of Skarface. I believe he is the one who still runs these record labels lke "Helen of Oi!" and NoCo. Let me have a look... and yes, Freddy Skarface does have a website: pagespro-orange.fr/manfred.rude/You should contact him about that video and bootleg disk, I think he is nearer source than I am. That bootleg was famed to be from Germany but as far as I remember it came from France or Belgium. Cheers Max
