BOOK - SPIRIT OF 76, LONDON PUNK EYEWITNESS BY JOHN INGHAM

BOOK John Ingham saw The Sex Pistols in April of 1976 and knew punk was the future. A founding writer for the British music paper Sounds, Ingham chronicled the emerging punk movement that ground shaking year and beyond, writing variously for The Observer, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, NME, CREEM, Mojo, Uncut, and a number of anthologies on the subject. Review This massive and seminal leap is beautifully captured through Ingham's photographs and lovingly pieced together in this hardcover edition -ViceAnd so it was that Ingham claimed the first interview with the Pistols – the band that brought punk to London in the summer of 1976 - GQContaining the only colour photographs from British punk's first wave alongside Ingham's inimitable prose, this new book constitutes a rare from the trenches report on the UK punk explosion from one of its original participants -Creative Boom
