The Three Johns - The World of the Workers

Here's a great little slice of early 1980s Marxist post-punk from Leeds. It's amazing how that's almost a genre unto itself, isn't it?

The Three Johns were brilliant at being incredibly subversive without even seeming to make much effort at it ... as opposed to, say, the Gang of Four or McCarthy, whose politics hit you over the head. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Thinking about it now this is probably one of their least subtle tracks, but I'm not at all sure it struck me that way when I first heard it at the age of 14 or so.

Classic.
