Audio source 2 - Jordi Valls - Punk Tapes book

link to full text here

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.

Fulham Town Hall, London

The Fulham Town Hall, a municipal building located on Fulham Road, London, was built in 1890 and designed by the architect George Edwards in the Classical style. It was constructed of Portland stone in a classical style.[5].

The building, which is a Grade II* listed building, has a rich history, serving as the headquarters of the Metropolitan Borough of Fulham and later as an administration center and events venue[5].

It underwent several extensions over the years to accommodate various local government functions, including the addition of a large stained glass window in the 1930s and a further extension along Harwood Road in the early 20th century[5].

The building's architectural significance and historical importance make it a notable landmark in London's local government history.

Roogalator/The Clash: Fulham Town Hall, London

Giovanni Dadomo, Sounds, 6 November 1976

Rocks Back Pages paywall

THIS ONE takes place in Fulham Town Hall and a glance tells you whoever designed this place had his sights firmly set on Cummerbund City. The kind of hall, in other words, where people collect municipal awards with maybe the occasional local bus depot's Christmas dance thrown in as a veritable Everest of excitement. Which is to say the architect had acoustics way, way down on his list of priorities.

Wanted, has anyone a scan of this?
