What was it like to be in the now legendary Roxy Club?"" and Were the Sex Pistols really any good as a live band?" Memories from others who were there--including members of the Damned, the Adverts, the Patti Smith Group, the Maniacs, and the Tom Robinson Band--add to this story of punk rock as it happened, stripped of hindsight and future legend, and laid bare.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
