No, not Condemned 84
Besides "Street Life" there are 4 more songs from their muddy '85 demo ....to be continued...
Youtube videos of songs from 1980's UK oi bands - from the left to the right - obscure & otherwise. I try to touch base with at least one song from everything in a bands 80's catalog or other noteworthy releases, but the aim is to get whole releases on the page. I am keeping politics out of this shit & as long as a bands sound is mostly Oi! & it's from the UK in the 1980's, then I will put it on here. You all have brains - judge for yourselves.

Betrayed
more info here: Yesterday's Heroes...Gone Today
this is not a Combat 84 cover and is probably the best song on their first tape.
missing songs "Clockwork Testament", "Backlash", "Vicious Rumours" & "1916" from split with Oi Polloi (& later redone as split with the Strike instead).
1987 Demo

1987 Demo
Skin Up
These are from their '84 demo. There are 2 other songs on the demo that are missing from youtube. This band also has rehearsal recordings. This is the kinda shit only people like me wanna listen to. Can't get enough.

Cockney Rejects
Besides bands before them like Sham 69 and Cock Sparrer, this is THE fucking band. As you probably already know, Gary Bushell supposedly coined the music as "oi" from the Oi! shouted at the beginning of the Rejects' classic song, "oi oi oi". I will fill in other songs later, not like you need any help finding Rejects material...
on the fence about including their other albums...

On Parole
There is one song missing on this page from their only tangible release, their '82 Demo, besides getting a track from it (Condemned) on the 2nd "A Country Fit For Heroes" compilation and a limited unofficial release of the same song onto 7" just this year. Apparently they had a 2nd demo that was lost to time...
ABH
They were not an RAC band, but they made the mistake(for lack of a better word?) of participating on the "This is White Noise" comp. ep in support of their patriotic views.

the Abnormal
Unknown demo track from Myspace
'Never Understand' demo track from myspace
"Skins 'N" Punks vol. 4" split LP with Barbed Wire
Skin Deep (2)
One of two Skin Deeps, this one going the ska/soul pop route with a few rare oi songs, and the other was strictly oi.
live video with their sound transitioning from oi to ska/soul (pre-saxophone...)
this band turned into a ska/soul pop group. which they may have been from the beginning but made 2 great oi numbers. the next one is sort of a blend between their sounds. The video shows what they are really known for

the Business
This was their first full length recordings, originally meant to be called "Loud, Proud & Punk", but the recordings went missing and resurfaced later under the "Smash the Discos" title.
1st single
First released full length, essentially the "Loud, Proud & Punk" (smash the discos) full length, re-recorded. This video has their second 7" attached to it - "Smash the Discos" - not to be confused with their original full length recordings which later resurfaced with the same title.
3rd single
Their 2nd proper studio full length. If you don't count the "live" album previous to it, which apparently was recorded in the studio with crowd noises dubbed in later?!. This video has their 4th ep attached to it - "Get Out Of My House" - the title track being a cover of 70's hard rock band, Hustler. Hear the original HERE.
