Would you by any chance have a hi-res version of the photo of The Clash and Steel Pulse members as shown at the top of the page of your blog? Could one be made available – did you take the picture or do you know its provenance?

It was bands like MIR, Steel Pulse that united people of many races. Really glad you brought this material up and im glad that this era is getting some representation in the blogosphere at last.

It was not that they didn't see the National Front as a threat but more that it was only one threat alongside the daily reality of police racism and other forms of oppression. So perhaps that is one factor in the relative dearth of anti-NF records.
