SKREWDRIVER- All skrewed up LP (Chiswick Records, UK, 1977)
What worries me most about this album – is a 45 rpm LP really an LP or is it just a MiniLP?
And here are some of the highlights from the ongoing debate over at Peter’s, who posted the great “You’re so dumb” 7″ by the Skrewies. Some are dead serious, some are not – try to find out which is which. Let’s call this the Skrewdriver-mantra:
«I had this record, but could not play it. I despise anyone that uses hatred of another to justify their hatred for themselves. I gave this record away…I don’t care what the music was like before they became “racists”. Next record please. There were hundreds of other great records coming out at the time of this release…I would rather hear those. Thanks.»
«Hell, Hitler was a pretty good scenic painter.»
«i cant believe youre posting nazi punk now. …so uncool.»
«Once a bonehead, always a bonehead. You may justify your liking for this shit band all you want…I do not. That is all. I will gladly fix the brakes on your car for you….»
«A little academic nuance makes Peter and Erich such sophisticated thinkers. Reminds me of the type of thinking that causes women to bare their breasts and present red teddy bears!»
«Face it, the music is not too good either.»
«The music is really not that good.»
«My opinion with such bands is,that there are enough great bands why should I waste my time listening to SUCH bands,even if they were -in their formative years- “no nazi´s”. If I want Street-Punk without a hint of art, I rather prefer to listen to MENACE, instead.»
«Whatever your beliefs are, how you receive early Skrewdriver partly depends on your own racial background. It doesn’t matter whether good old Ian was a professed racist at the time–he influenced a lot of people to become racists and that makes the world a shittier place for me and my children. Likewise, I doubt there are a lot of gay Bad Brains fans out there.»

Believe it or not I have never heard SKREWDRIVER until now. I’m downloading the album now. Heard about them being nazis and that’s why in the old days I didn’t care for them. Guess it’s time to confront myself with this.

One question Erich: Did you buy this in the 80s or later? I mean I can’t believe you would have listened to Skrewdriver in the HC days. Or am I wrong?

I bought it in the 90s. You’re right: I wouldn’t have allowed myself to even listen to Skrewdriver up until the late 90s. I wouldn’t promote later Skrewdriver in any form. If I’d like the music, I would play it though, but the songs are so repetitive and the lyrics so all over the place that I don’t enjoy it that much. That’s what I like about NS-Black Metal: You don’t understand what they’re shrieking.

Lets talk about the record -
I think this is almost a perfect album, except for the second song ‘government action’ which is just generic and boring, so I always skip this track (annoying for i like the first song) which is partly why I rarely listen to this LP, apart from that the record is great! two clearly ramones-inspired songs (hah!) in rapid sucession – “i don’t…” and “i don’t…”- finishing of a-side with antisocial. great shit! b-side starts with ethe best skruvmejsel song ever, too much confusion, one of the best punk songs ever I think, 9-5 is also good one, jailbait is not so very good actually, we don’t pose is a bit of a joke in terms of lyric matter (but that is part of the charm) then the only one is really good sing-a-long type of shit,
then the rolling stones cover makes me think of english people from provincial towns with flaired trousers, thinking of townies puts a different slant on ian stuart, as such obviously he was attracted to tabloidism and racism
- a great great punk singer, but damn weak mind (ignoring the ‘politics’, the lyrics show beyond doubt that he was indeed intellectually challenged)

“What worries me most about this album – is a 45 rpm LP really an LP or is it just a MiniLP?” – Right, exactly the same question with ‘Feeding of the 5000′ and 3/4 of ‘Stations of the Cr@ss’ and some other Crass’ records that followed this bizarre format of the Chiswick’ Skrewdriver ¿LP?
Thanks a lot for this post! The rip I had was a bit poor (too ‘unclean street’ punk haha) so gotta check this one. Pity that the scans are so tiny, I can’t read the credits in the back cover to see if Patti Palladin’s teeth are credited. Palladin, 1/2 of the great Snatch who also caked the damned up in their first LP. Btw, did that ‘danger sign’ sticker come with your copy?
@Tony – the cover version is not from the Stones but The Who. Definitely better than the original with its horrible Daltrey vocals, hahaha

Greatest tags to a record so far Erich! Too bad Ian became such an asshole, and that you and Peter choose to tag along with him. I just can’t believe someone like you with such a great love for social democratic almost punk became a sieg hailing poodle head.
Or wait, they were NOT nazis when they did this album? Shit, I don’t know what to do now… how confusing. It’s just like Ace of Base I guess. Uffe was a nazi and then he became a euro disco star and I still like Ace of Base. Am I a nazi then? Super confusing.

The dirty feeling I got downloading this was comparable to the time I bought a Russian Winter (a Russian black metal band) compilation CD after it received pretty strong praise. I realizes before I got it in the mail that the band had become a neo-Nazi/racist band after reforming (although most of the material on the compilation was from before and seems to lack the racist themes). The CD was also released by a neo-Nazi label. Somewhat ironically, I ordered it from an apolitical label run by a Hispanic guy in Florida. It turned out to be pretty mediocre anyway. Haven’t listened to this Skrewdriver yet, but at least I didn’t pay for it.

this album’s kinda fun but it’s pretty weak next to what other folks were putting out in ’77. after hearing this i think crossing over into the racist prick genre was a good career move in donaldson’s case. those silly nazis will buy records by any shit band with generic lyrics that appeal to their sensibilities. that being said i’m going to start slipping “An-Ti-So-Cial” and “Where’s It Gonna End?” onto mixes. this one might get me kicked out of the next vegan potluck…

As a kike/ spic/ sudaca/ immigrant scumbag in Europe, I took personal offence at your post…just kidding. It is indeed a really good punk record, I just bought a copy myself not too long ago, in Tel Aviv of all places!
I would say that almost as mandatory as the record itself is the chapter about Ian Stuart in “Cranked Up Really High” by Stewart Home, you can read it online here:
http://www.stewarthomesociety.org/cranked/skrew.htm
I tried listening to their later, nazi stuff, but it was really boring. Let’s face it, if it wasn’t for their lyrics/ image, most copies would still be in cut out bins all across the Western hemisphere.

Thanks for the link. I read some Stewart Home books in german long time ago and never really got into him as a writer, but I’ll have to check out the english original passage about good ol’Ian, maybe it was just the translation.
Filthy Chris: Kinda weak for a 77 record? I don’t think so at all. It has such a good drive as a whole and a kinda bluesy feeling. To me, this is one of my all time 77 ponkers.
Malfeitor: For a second I thought about the teddy but then decided it would be too obvious. I might change the pix just for you, teddy-lover, though.
General: Please people, don’t unload all your critique (“how can you post such a nazi band”) on Peter’s blog. I want some too. Pretty please with white cream (!) on top.

Erich, I can’t believe you didn’t know about Ace of Base! Their best song is of course All that she wants (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjJwqDa1QVI&feature=related), especially the 12″ remix which is a faster and sounds a bit like St Etienne IMHO. Kick ass former nazi rockers, and according to rumours they recycled the lyrics from one of their nazi songs for their huge hit Happy Nation (now that’s a title for all the happy-jolly-I-don’t-like-this-band-because-one-of-the-members-became-a-nazi-later-on-clique to think about).

I don’t know about Peter deal’s deal with them, but as he, just like Erich, has a history with the ABBA girls he might have a secret deal them instead.
By the way, I have never ever said that AoB is the next ABBA! It’s Skrewdriver who’s the new ABBA in my opinion.
And compared to bears (the animal and the hairy humans) I am indeed inferior. What else can an almost-punk be?

What's the Truth? wrote:
Hmm, all nonsense aside, I can’t say this record does much for me. Something about this boneheaded working-class pride-related aesthetic always turns me off (perhaps I am imposing my own stereotypes on the band, here.)
As for my take on the racism discussion, I would never buy a racist album from a racist label (you see these eastern European black metal labels dedicated to racist agitation, for example,) but as for other means of acquiring them, I think it’s all fair game. Look at the pop charts here in the US, many of the hip-hop artists that dominate these charts openly refer to misogyny, etc. and they still perform at the Grammys, and people feel alright listening to their music in a way that doesn’t refer to or care for those parts of their discriminatory lyrics.
I must admit I’d still feel somewhat uncomfortable listening to an album where all the lyrics are violently racist (as in American death metal band Arghoslent’s album with that song glorifying historical slave rape,) because in those cases it’s difficult to remove that from my listening experience, but perhaps that is just me…

“Hail the new dawn” was still their best record, albeit by a new band with the same old name– well-expressed, paranoid delusional lyrics give the usual working class left cliches of bread and toil a moronic racist twist over top of some of the catchiest, most powerful and most driving early Stiff Little Fingers-meets-first-Motorhead-LP-meets-CCR punk rock ever laid to wax. I had a hang up over this when I was a kid, and I totally understand why anyone else wouldn’t listen, but come ON, I’m 38 years old. If listening to stupid right wing music was going to turn me into a racist, how come all that stupid left wing music hasn’t made me into an equally dopey PC nutbar by now?
But yeah, I’d also never give these people any money, nor distribute their later music to anyone not old/mature/sensible enough to enjoy it without being influenced by it. Common sense.

How do I know? Because I was there. I knew Ian and the lads and the truth is that he was a racist in 1976 already. Nobody liked him. He was dumb as shit and a pretty violent one. I once drove them to a couple gigs. He kept calling me jew driver and then just kike. “Look there the Kike’s coming.” A very funny person.

That “Hail the new dawn” album is indeed incredibly good, Simon. I only downloaded it yesterday (haha – total newbie) but I can’t get it out of my head already. The lyrics will hopefully not turn me into a nazi. Funny thing is that bums like these Skrewdriver losers and their followers would have been among the first to end up with a bullet in the head. But that’s maybe how right wing extremism has changed through the course of the 20th century: From the politics of the winners, opportunists and modernists to that of the total losers. We should hug more nazis.

All you have to do is listen to the lyrics and you won’t find any nazi krap.I have all old Skrewdriver in the 70′s and listened to it then as well and I am Jewish.
When Ian reformed this band he got new members,used the same name,and made it into the hated NAZI krap music.

Okay, I’m halfway through the album and I FUCKING LOVE IT! These guys were original and a little ahead of their time. Some of the songs sound like Crypt Records-style garage rock. Very heavily influenced by The Who, too, which isn’t something you hear too often in this kind of punk.
Fortunately, I’m a white American of mostly German descent, so I’m not offended by this album. The quarter Polish in me is angry, though, and makes me want to attack tanks on horseback.

skrewdriver were good in the early years. i can’t downoad this because i can’t download .zip files but after listening to the your so dumb 7 i like skrewdriver before they were nazis. also why are people calling them street punk? this isn’t street punk because street punk is kind of hardcore based. then again i’m a yung scumfuck so what do i know. oh and erich you are not a nazi just because you have this. i have some burzum. does that make me an anarchist nazi? no it just makes me a guy who listens to burzum because you can’t tell what he’s saying. i will not listen to new skrewdriver but i have to say one more thing. you guys were saying how the music is bad. punk isn’t supposed to be good! punk is dirty and noone plays music good! what are you guys expecting from these guys. a fucking balad? and i will not listen to the bad brains anymore because of the homophobia thing. i’m not gay but i don’t hate people who are.

perhaps some of the posters above don’t know what england was like in the 70′s… when i was a teenager, the national front marched openly down my high street on saturdays with the cops protecting their democratic right to be fascist; they were even knocking electoraly on the doors of parliament. this was in west london where there was a significant black community.
sham69 and the specials stopped playing or split because of the fash showing at their gigs, going to see the upstarts was not safe at all.
one of the things that punk did, deliberately, was to polarise and so draw these people out of the woodwork. this is perhaps more useful than some of the insidious racism that exists in post politically correct culture, but the intensity of the conflicts which ensued won’t be forgotten by those who lived them. the southall riot at the 4skins gig in 1979 was a turning point and a victory for both the local community and anti racist organisers.
as a relic, skrewdriver are a bit of social history which has to be seen in context. that the debate is still going is positive in the sense that people are still attempting to disentangle their opinions into a political position but, as with all things punk, just liking or not liking the music is just not enough.

Thanks for the input slyme68 – much appreciated! I can totally understand the anger and fury. I was streetfighting fascists for years too. But the first Skrewdriver album just doesn’t belong in this context.

Money goes toward buying space on which to store all the music you are downloading for free. Even if Erich had a blogspot, he’d probably still need money to support an account with some file hosting company…most of these bloggers do.
Strangely appropriate to level a “typical Swiss person” stereotype on a Skrewdriver post…

okay now that i know how to download this i see it is great. i actually think of skrewdriver as two different bands. i like th old punk skrewdriver not the nazi skrewdriver. think of it that way. actually peter gave me the idea. this band is good. this skrewdriver is killer. the nazi skrewdriver sucks but this is great artless punk. i didn’t feel guilty or bad downloading it because of the way i think.

Im definately anti-racist, but I enjoy this record since its not nazi. There are no lyrcis related to nazism and racism so nothing prevents me from enjoying it. I think that if Ian started the nazi band in 1981 under a different name you people would enjoy this record.

i love their first lp and singles. i bet you bitching morons will admit to having exploited records, but does ANY of you remember wattie making pro-national front statements in the early eighties? huh?
and by some of the thinking here, i’ll stop listening to bad brains, public enemy, last poets, etc.
guess what folks, people can be assholes, but i keep my personal judgements apart from how i view someone’s artistic output.
they’re great records, simple as that.

I sold this great record some years ago. Thank you for posting it here, so I can listen to it again. It “rotated” in my mp3-player for a long while. And I must say it again: Ian Stewart had such a fuckin’ great voice for singing in a punkrock band. Also you can hear the massive 60s-Beat influence on the music. Shame that he must’ve lost his brains some years later. Thanx again!
