Synopsis
This is the story of the birth of Punk, with a capital P, in the only country where it was a mainstream movement: the UK; told entirely by eye-witnesses (Heylin included) whose words, then and now, have been held up to the light of history's hindsight. This is also the story of the rebirth of Rock, by a bunch of bands who set out to deconstruct and destroy the form, on the island that largely invented it and reinvented it at least twice in the fifteen years before Punk. And it is the story of the ex-Catholic, semi-Irish, snot-nosed, working-class Cockney oik who dealt the final, fatal blow to England's dreams of empire when he became a Rotten revolutionary. But most of all it is the story of a handful of British youths who were inspired to raise their voice in song, and allow it to echo around the world. It is a story that, till now, has only been told piecemeal: of one band blazing a trail gig by gig, convert by convert, to the pre-set agenda - not always adhered to - of a fetish shop owner until, within a single year, the whole island rocked to the sound of ANARCHEEE. How did this happen and why does it still matter?

Very Good in Dustjacket. 9781901927665. 352 pages. hardcover. keywords: PERFORMING ARTS. DESCRIPTION - This is the story of the birth of Punk, with a capital P, in the UK, the only country where it was a mainstream movement. Told entirely by eye-witnesses (Heylin included) whose words, then and now, have been held up to the light of history's hindsight. It looks at the foundation of The Sex Pistols and how the movement they began in 1977 changed music and culture forever. But most of all, it is the story of a handful of British youths who were inspired to raise their voice in song, and allow it to echo around the world. Praise for Heylin's previous work on rock music history: Heylin, one of the world's foremost Dylanologists, breathes new life into the story with the help of 18 recently unearthed soundboard recordings from Dylan's 1966 tour with the Hawks. - Rolling Stone. inventory #41958.
