Strength Thru Oi!

The second – and most controversial – Oi! album finally gets a vinyl reissue, having been unavailable in the format for well over 30 years. Released in 1981, it featured leading lights of the Oi! scene like Cock Sparrer, The 4 Skins, Last Resort, and Infa-Riot alongside newer, less heralded bands like The Strike and Criminal Class. And let’s not forget the poems from Garry Johnson and Barney Rubble!

Now repressed in a gatefold sleeve that reproduces the original art and comes complete with rare pictures of most of the featured artists.
