The year is not 1988, but 1976-77. An early first-hand account on Punk by artist, activist, photographer and journalist Caroline Coon, who went on to actually manage The Clash from 1978-80.
Featuring incredible photography and details about The Slits, The Damned, The Sex Pixtols, The Stranglers and many more.
Commenting about her life and photography of the era Caroline Coon has stated -
'Today, looking back at the photographs I took then, reminds us that all the musicians and fans creating such disruptive, universal perturbation were barely out of their teens: Johnny Rotten was just 20. Joe Strummer was 23. The average age of The Jam was 19, The Buzzcocks – 19, Subway Sect – 18. Poly Styrene, lead singer of X-Ray Specs, was 19, Ari-Up, lead singer of The Slits, was 14.
Over the last five decades, theoreticians in the cultural studies industry, historians, music critics and journalists have written enough about punk to fill an Atlantic trench. Every minute facet of the punk era has been forensically examined, loading on to the young shoulders of those who created it every conceivable expectation.'
