A classic real time photographic account of the Punk scene as it happened, by the newspaper columnist and television presenter Val Hennessy. Photographs of punks and the club scene are are cleverly juxtaposed with the influence that they drew from. Quotes from originators and creators include a short interview with "Mark P[erry]", punk prophet and one-time editor of the 'Sniffin Glue' fanzine, and some words from his "pal" Danny [Baker].
