This soundtrack compilation to Hugh Hodges’ brilliant book The Fascist Groove Thing: A History of Thatcher’s Britain in 21 Mixtapes features 20 tracks of classic punk, anarcho-punk and folk from Margaret Thatcher’s reign and eventual demise (some quite rare). While intended as a companion to the book this mixtape works equally well on its own. It will help prove that while Thatcher’s policies may have been utter crap, the music of this era that came out in response to her was anything but.
