Son of Oi! is the fifth part of the Oi! -Sampler series launched in 1980 with Oi! The album was started and the first part was no longer compiled by Garry Bushell .
background
After Garry Bushell with the fourth part Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot! the original Oi! album series had ended, the label Syndicate Records took over the concept of the series. The sampler Son of Oi! Was created under the patronage of the so-called “The Oi Organizing Committee” . . Behind the "Committee" hid Frankie Flame and the street poet Garry Johnson . Garry Bushell also took part in the sampler despite the announcement that the Oi! Series would be ending. He wrote a total of seven of the 24 pieces on the CD and was represented twice with his band The Gonads . The cover photo, two children with soccer ball, Dr. Martens , beer bottle and newspaper, are his two oldest sons. The photo was taken in the Ferrier Estate district , where Bushell lived at the time.
The liner notes were written by Garry Johnson and Frankie Flame. In the document (as on the previous albums) Oi! presented as the only "real", unaffected music that speaks the slang of the language. Furthermore, according to the text, “bright young teenage talent [s]” will be presented on the compilation. But this is only partly true. With Vicious Rumors, Clockwork Destruction and Oxo's Midnight Stumblers actually represented new bands, but a large part of the sampler consisted of projects by Bushell.
With the addition of spoken word artists such as Garry Johnson, Mick Turpin, Phil Sexton and Terry McCann, a tradition of the sampler series was continued. As already on Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot! with herb again an American hardcore punk represented band. Cock Sparrer , The Business and The 4-Skins, on the other hand, represent the "fathers" of the movement.

Song and artist information
Prole, Maniac Youth and Orgasm Guerillas were three studio projects by Garry Bushell and Steve Kent (The Business, Gonads), none of which released anything outside of the Oi!
Behind “Oi! The Robot “hid Frankie Boy Flame. The song Manifesto Oi! According to Flame, it is about “an age of forced leisure”, in which robots take over the work and normal people lose their jobs. Flame viewed this age of cyberspace critically and tried to "bring people back down to earth".
The song On the Streets was written during the short phase before The 4-Skins broke up with Roi Pearce from The Last Resort on vocals.
Kraut's Onwards contribution was made with the collaboration of former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and was already featured on their debut album An Adjustment of Society (1982).
Attila the Stockbroker's contribution was made in collaboration with the English post-punk band The Newtown Neurotics .
