Don Letts examines the history of this notorious subculture in a fascinating documentary, which features interviews with members of different skinhead scenes through the decades. Beginning in the late 1960s, Don fondly recalls a time of multiracial harmony as youngsters bonded over a love of ska, reggae and smart clothes as white working-class kids were attracted to Jamaican culture and adopted its music and fashions. But when far-right politics targeted skinheads in the 1970s and 1980s, an ugly intolerance emerged, and Don reveals how the once-harmonious subgroup has since struggled to shake this stigma.

This live-concert video captures the Business at their best -- snarling and living up to their reputation -- during one of the group's 1998 United Kingdom tour shows. All the band's signature punk anthems (including "Suburban Rebels," "Smash the Discos" and "Drinking and Driving") are featured. Genre devotees will recall that the Business was at the forefront of the Oi (aka street punk) movement that became an offshoot of traditional punk music.
