Did the 4 Skins ever record a session

Martin is correct. Paul Swain joined them for the Blood And Honour LP
(see here for more details:
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?full=1&bandid=6618). All this
debate about whether the 4 Skins recorded a Peel session is surely due
to the fact that Peel Torrent 3 has what purports to be their session,
with this tracklisting: 1. Wonderful World 2. Jealousy 3. One Law For
Them 4. Evil 5. Yesterday's Heroes. These are the first five tracks
from 'The Secret Life Of The 4-Skins' (which you can download from
http://rocknrollsavage.blogspot.com/2008/02/4-skins-secret-life-of-4-skins.html,
if that's your 'bag'), the artwork for which accompanies the 'music'
in the folder. It is claimed to be a long-lost 1981 radio session, but
for which DJ's programme remains unclear. One thing is certain: none
of the sites I have seen featuring this 2001 compilation claim that it
was for Peel. And remember that the Torrents, groundbreaking though
they were (and we will forever be grateful to Dee Dee for uploading
them), contain a lot of errors (as we all know, Radiohead and Soft
Cell never did sessions for JP, but they are here nevertheless).
End of topic?

Best wishes
