Perhaps the most interesting pic from Nick Knight's book:
I think you must start from the premise that media folk are always going to get something fundamental wrong.

I think(regarding the fact about all the Interviewees got kicked)was not quite right.Do not forget Roys` Kilburn Mob were interviewed on TV and I don`t think there was any reprisals against them.Roy has said,he dodged out of the way and to be honest when there were any Cameras or Journalists about-I made myself invisible.Camera shy,if you like.

What's your take of Munsingwear's An Original Penguin?

For me, it was from 1990 onwards. Music music music, alot of my friends were into the re-revival of the two tone scene, but for me, it was all about the traditional jazz based rude-boy ska. That is where my heart is. I dont know how many times i've seen the Skatalites and their "last" concert. At ska/mod concerts and gigs, all my boys were wearing their three button blazers and skinny ties, while I was in my shirt jacks and a straw tribly. In fact, I'm going to the big MOD/Scooter event in Santa Monica this weekend where all the hard n soft mods will hang out for scooter riding and great Music. I'll post pics of the event next week.I know it was different for the originals, who werent as into music as us "new breed" types, and it was more about clothes...but in my day (from 80s onward) we always placed more importance on the music than clothes. of course having the identifiable look was important, but if you couldnt hold a good conversation about the latest bands, music etc, you were thought of as being a bit phony
