There's plenty of images on band t-shirt and albums that were stolen from the Last Resort shop's catalog pages. Check out this link to my friends dead old blog In For The 80's to look at pictures of skins, the shop, the catalog etc.
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.

Van Del & the Hooligans
Coming off a pretty solid oi comp. (Link Records' "...the Sound of Oi!"), this band was pre-Guitar Gangsters and played more of a 77 punk style. They were actually a punk band called Embryo and just used a fake name for the comp. They later changed their name to Jump Squad and other various names until disbanding/morphing into the Guitar Gangsters. They got on the comp. i assume because of their friendship with the guys from Link Records/the Business.

updates
i added a bunch of live recordings and demos to the Angela Rippons Bum page, plus some other shit here and there but i forgot
also, even though they've broken up and can't be boxed into one style, check out my friends band from Toronto - Skunx. They had a variety of influences from 80s british oi to uk82 style punk, with weird postpunk melodies and 1980's french, south american and italian oi, + more. They ranged from fast punk songs to midtempo oi stompers with their own unique sound. Here's a few of the more oi type songs.
