The Press: The Complete Press ~ 1984 - 1994 on Insurgence Records

[Sally Hand]

This is the collected studio recordings of The Press who were active
in New York City and propionate in the early Skinheads Against Racal
Prejudice (SHARP) movement in the 1980s and 90s. Influenced by such
bands as Cock Sparrer, Sham 69, Cockney Rejects, Angelic Upstarts, The
Gonads and The Redskins they combined their original Punk sound with
Ska, Reggae and Soul and a touch of politics. The digipack CD is
available now as a pre-order with an official release date slated for
Halloween 2007:

"The Press were the first American Oi! band and this is the first time
their collected works, including remastered rarities and unreleased
material, have been issued in one slick lookin' digipack release
together with band photos and a pullout lyric-sheet!"

Some commemorative merchandise and a couple of NYC area CD release
parties featuring former The Press singer/songwriter Andre
Schlesinger's current band Maninblack performing songs of The Press
along with some special guests are planned. More as this develops...
