This is great stuff & I'm sorry I've not had time to respond sooner, Brother.
THESE are the stories we need to know before they are lost to us.
Please keep on going, Lewis. You add a lot.

Interesting that they were enemies of hippies and mods when their look was, on the face of it, mod-inspired.
I had never heard of them. Thanks Lewis.
There was another thread here where Sharpies were discussed, along with some links to former Sharpies and what they look like now
This 60s Oz band The Purple Hearts is something I would imagine Sharpies would have listened to
This record, Benzedrine Beat, is a compilation of all their recorded stuff and is GREAT

Youtube had a great 60s clip from a TV appearance where they play Just a Little Bit live but it looks to be removed
