The 4-Skins session was recorded for Peel just before Southall but not 
broadcast (due to the controversy surrounding the band + Oi! in general 
for a while afterwards). Peel also appeared on a Nationwide feature 
defending the band soon after. It subsequently became something of 
a 'holy grail' among Oi!/streetpunk collectors + Mark at Captain Oi! 
eventually licensed the session off the BBC a few years back, along 
with a load of other Oi! and punk sessions, hence it appearing on 
the 'Secret Life' CD.
