All Skrewed Up is a 1977 album by British punk rock band Skrewdriver. It was issued with four different sleeve colours - green, orange, yellow, and pale purple. It was later re-released in 1991 with five additional tracks, including the singles "Unbeliever" and "Streetfight", originally issued on the German release.
The album received favourable press from NME, Sounds, Melody Maker, and Record Mirror. It marked the turning point in the band's direction from punk to skinhead, mirrored in the song "We Don't Pose", which was aimed at emerging young punk bands more concerned about image than a message. The record contains none of the neo-Nazi/white power-themed lyrics for which the band later became known. Donaldson was the only member of the record's line-up to play on future Skrewdriver releases.[1]
It was re-released in 1990 as The Early Years with a different track order and five bonus tracks. The Early Years is the only official release of the All Skrewed Up tracks on CD.
