Redskins - Neither Washington Nor Moscow FOUR CD BOX
SKU: LMS5521469Description:
For the very first time, London Records reissue the 1986 debut
album - and only studio album – by Redskins, Neither Washington Nor
Moscow, on vinyl and 4CD Boxset.
The reissue comes complete with new sleeve notes by Redskins
bassist Martin Hewes, and the CD boxset includes a 68-page booklet
with liner notes from band members Martin Hewes (bass) and Paul
Hookham (who replaced original drummer Nick King in 1985) and
renowned contemporaries including Billy Bragg and Paul Morley.
Redskins were formed in York in 1982 by Chris Dean (vocals /
guitar), Martin Hewes (bass / backing vocals) and Nick King
(drums), with the ambition to “sing like The Supremes and walk like
The Clash”. Dean and Hewes were members of the Socialist Workers
Party and politics guided the music created by Redskins, their
soulful songs brimming with righteous passion. Six tracks on
Neither Washington Nor Moscow were released as singles, including
the band’s only Top 40 “Bring It Down! (This Insane Thing)” and the
prophetic “Kick Over The Statues”. Redskins split in late 1986,
leaving a legacy and influence that stretches far beyond their
short recording career.
Format & package: Four CD box set
+ 68-page booklet with liner notes from Hewes and Redskins
drummer Paul Hookham (who replaced original drummer Nick King in
1985) and renowned contemporaries including Billy Bragg and Paul
Morley. Plus photos, lyrics and essays.
