Skins & Punks: Lost Archives 1978-1985 – Gavin Watson

Subculture-liggers will grab this as an eye-spy style manual. In fact the skinhead thing is close to irrelevant; better to see these photos as tender and revealing portraits of a gang of mates tumbling through life together. A first tattoo, at the fairground, outside dad's, after school at my house... The last pic shows the day the world changed thanks to acid house (Gavin's next book!).
