Scarce first printing of this modern classic: the story of Punk and especially the Sex Pistols, and the years leading up to that great explosion of creativity in the UK. The England’s Dreaming Tapes takes you back to the genesis, to the very beginning of the cult, back to a time when Poly Styrene was a hippy, when Steve Diggle and John Lydon had long hair, when Siouxsie Sioux was a disco kid. I’d talk to people who loved the monarchy, but insisted that when Elizabeth died the succession would skip Charles entirely and pass on straight to his son.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" is one of my long-standing favorite punk albums and I have fond memories of jumping around and slamming at parties back in college with my friends Jeremy and Troy as we mutually discovered this music. There are stories of amphetamine use, the sheer joy of provoking a reaction, violence at early gigs and being banned from just about everywhere.

Highly recommended to anyone who likes the music or wants to know more about a strand of music and fashion that changed music, the industry, society and the people involved.
