Punk Rock by John Robb
Presents the history of a radical movement in Seventies Britain. With its own clothes, hair, artwork, fanzines and radical politics, Punk boasted a DIY ethos that meant anyone could take part. This book gives the inside view on events such as the Sex Pistols' anti-Jubilee riverboat party, famous gigs at the Roxy and 100 Club, and their records.
