Good news - I have the go-ahead to use all the material from Yell in the book if necessary.

not sure if i have ever seen this pic, it's a good one. Bedford...lol, have been to this town on my last trip, I'm sure it was a far nicer place in 1969 than it is today.

It you look at the Film "Bronco Bullfrog"-which came out in `69,the Clothes(which are their own) they wear are closer to this than Skinheads.This was filmed in East London.
