5.0 out of 5 stars Otis Redding meet Leon Trotsky, August 26, 1999

Musically, the Redskins developed a mix of punk and R&B soul. The lyrics are basically extended slogans and leftist rants--good for therapy when you're sick of your boss. Neither Washinton Nor Moscow is a classic of politically oriented pop, and the fact that the cd comes with some of the singles makes it all the more attractive.

I saw Billy Bragg doing a version of Lean on Me, from the back of a flatbed truck on the Brixton High Road in 1994, and it reminded me of just how good this record is. Lots of soulfull singing, infectious bass hooks, and plenty of brass fill out powerful tunes and lyrics about the importance of overthrowing capitalism. This is an essential 1980's recording. This band really could have been as big as the Beatles if they hadn't been full-time Socialist Workers Party revolutionaries. You think the Clash were hardcore? You think Dexy's Midnight Runners were as soulful as whiteboys get? Buy this; it'll knock your ears off.

5.0 out of 5 stars a forgotten new wave/punky pop with brass classic!, June 21, 1999

If your a fan of the Clash and the Jam, then buy this. Very left wing message with a consistency of great tunes rarely matched-it is clearly one of the best albums ever and criminally ignored.
