PUNK ON 45

The punk explosion of the mid-1970s unleashed an amazing wave of creativity, both musically and graphically. As punks DIY, cut-and-paste ingenuity gave rise to groundbreaking designers like Jamie Reid and Neville Brody, the picture sleeve became an essential aspect of any new single. Featuring a wealth of data and over 700 color photos of sleeves of the era from heavyweights like the Clash and the Buzzcocks to influential unknowns like Subway Sect, Punk On 45 is not just an invaluable reference but a visual feast, capturing the artistic zeitgeist of this dynamic era.
