Oi! The Album, Strength Thru Oi!, Carry On Oi!, Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot!/Back On The Streets EP, Son Of Oi! & The Oi! Of Sex



"Oi! The Album" is a compilation album, released in 1980 on EMI and reissued in 2006 on Captain Oi!.
It was conceived and compiled by then Sounds columnist Garry Bushell who had coined the phrase "Oi!" to denote what he called a new breed of working class punk rock with "terrace" or mob choruses.

The album was ultimately the first in a series, followed by
Strength Thru Oi! (1981)
Carry On Oi! (1981)
Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot! (1982)
Son Of Oi! (1983)
The Oi! Of Sex (1984).

"Strength Thru Oi!" is a compilation album, released in 1981 on Decca Records and reissued in 2003 on Captain Oi!.

When "Strength Thru Oi!" was released, it was controversial because its title was a play on a Nazi slogan ("Strength Through Joy"), and the cover featured Nicky Crane, a British Movement activist who was serving a four-year sentence for racist violence.
Garry Bushell, who was responsible for compiling the album, insists its title was a pun on The Skids' album "Strength Through Joy" and that he had been unaware of the Nazi connotations. He also denied knowing the identity of the skinhead on the album's cover until it was exposed by the Daily Mail two months later.
