Year in Punk Interview with Janet Street Porter
(out now on DVD)
contact rights.leeds@granadamedia.com
Production ID 9C/02278
Programme Title LONDON WEEKEND SHOW
Production Title SEX PISTOLS - PUNK ROCK
First TX Date 28/11/1976
Running Time 25 mins 53 secs
Synopsis
Janet Street-Porter investigates the current fast-growing phenomenon - Punk Rock.
The programme sets out to examine why increasing numbers of London's young people are becoming disaffected with the rock scene and finding that the 'New Wave' bands, rather than rich, established, superstars, seem to articulate their own feelings of musical and social discontent.
It looks at the rapid growth of punk bands which has followed the realisation that you don't have to be a consummate musician to play entertaining punk music and at the style and beliefs that distinguish people from fans of established rock.
Janet interviews the leading punk band, The Sex Pistols, their close rivals, The Clash and punk fans to try to find out whether this is a beat boom or just another instantly forgotten fad.
She also talks to promoter Ron Watts to find out whether Punk Rock's violent reputation, which has led to a dwindling number of venues prepared to book the bands, is justly deserved, and the programme allows viewers to judge the phenomenon for themselves from film of a typical Sex Pistols concert

Book: London Punk Tapes
Book: Published on Jul 20, 2010
"The London Punk Tapes', fanzine styled insider view on 1976/1977 by legendary punk taper, Jordi Valls.
Comprehensive personal documentary archive of the punk explosion of 1976-77 made up by poster, flyers, programmes, fanzines, magazines, newspaper cuttings, photographs, tickets for gigs, and other material. Pg 31 onwards.
Audio recordings - Jordi Valls - Punk Tapes
During 1976 and 1977 Jordi Valls recorded live on nine audio cassettes some of the early punk gigs in London. These tapes, featuring The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, Subway Sect, Billy Idol & Generation X, The Slits and Buzzcocks, capture the true sound of punk - raw, countercultural and subversive - as a phenomenon that had a radical impact on popular music and fashion, first in Britain and America, and then worldwide.
Arguably the most interesting aspect of punk is its vital, visceral energy, and the demonstration that the only thing that really matters is the intention, the power of the imagination, and nothing more.
This book is a witness of this movement. With substantial graphic material such as photographs, newspapers, cuttings, gig tickets, make up this big and valuable archive on a movement so intense as self-destructive.

Quote from Keith Levene interview and some early notes.
Sniffin' Glue: The Essential Punk Accessory by Mark Perry
Fanzine reproducd as a book.
"Sniffin Glue" was the most vital and cutting edge punk fanzine of its time. It featured all the key artists of the time from "The Ramones" and the "Sex Pistols" to "Blondie".
Written by Mark Perry, this book takes an irreverent retrospective look at the heady days of punk, featuring superb original photographs from the likes of Jill Furmanovsky and Pennie Smith and a full-length interview with TV and radion personality Danny Baker, who wrote for the original fanzine over 20 years ago at the start of their career.
During its brief existence "Sniffin Glue" brilliantly chronicled the birth, rise and demise of punk rock in the UK.
Starting with a print run of a mere 50 copies, by Issue 3 the circulation was way into the thousands. Joined in the later issues by young co-writer Danny Baker, sales started to exceed expectations and by Issue 12 Mark Perry called it a day declaring it's existence too successful as he was keen to avoid accusations of becoming part of the established rock press.
And for the collector there are all 12 issues of the magazine reproduced in their entirety.

Caroline Coon, '1988:
WHEN I FIRST interviewed the Clash in their barrack like studio in Chalk Farm, they had yet to sign a record contract, although they were already one of the punk scene's favourite bands.
