Fantastic book by the most genuine, nicest couple I've ever had the good fortune to interview. The story in their words and others with many before unseen photos in a beautiful large format book of the pivotal Punk club and its short but explosive impact on the scene and the people who went there. You want to know about Punk and running a club  - this is it! First published in 1977 this has been long out of print or if you have one it will be shedding pagers faster than the hairs on my head. Classic photos of the punters and bands at the Roxy by photographers at the time including Derek Ridgers. Atmospheric, grainy and warts and all of an iconic time! Reproduced in the same large scale format. Derek Ridgers was a Photographer in London through 1976 and 1977 and who captured some really iconic photos of the bands and faces on the emerging Punk scene at the classic venues such as the Vortex and Roxy Club and along the Kings Road.  A visual record of the time worth a thousand words when youth was in revolt and music was fun!
