Punk Rock in London 1977-1979

Tokyo. Buronzu Sha. 1979. First edition. 8vo. Unpaginated (ca 160pp). Paper wraps in Dustwrap. Numerous Black & White plates. Text in Japanese. 

One of the highlights of punk documentary on par with Costa Punk or 100 Nights at the Roxy. There's a tiny bit of Roxy in there but the focus is really North and West London- The Roundhouse, The Electric Ballroom, Dingwalls, The Rochester Castle (Stokey) and Acklam Hall (Ladbroke Grove). Fans, Bands, gigs, street and club/pub scenes. Real grassroots stuff!
