Sniffin
Glue - Punk Aid Special (£20.00 + £2 p+p,
£10 goes to charity)
Mary Perry was a disillusioned 19 year old bank clerk from
Deptford, London, when he created a monthly fanzine called
Sniffin Glue. By the third issue, and with a cover price of
'empty yer wallet, you bastard', NME had already acknowledged
it as the "nastiest, healthiest and funniest piece of
press in the history of rock’n’roll habits".
During its twelve month existence, the fanzine,
Sniffin’ Glue, brilliantly chronicled the birth, rise
and demise of punk rock. From a print-run of 50 copies for
issue 1, circulation rose to thousands, at which point ? in
true punk style ? Mark Perry declared its existence too successful
and eager to avoid being absorbed into the established rock
press, he stopped producing the magazine and encouraged readers
to rip up their copies!
Written with writer and broadcaster Danny
Baker with whom Perry also wrote the magazines, this unique
book is the most representative history of punk yet published.
A collector’s item in itself, it includes all twelve
issues of what is now a rare and expensive part of music history,
plus classic photos by Jill Furmanovsky and Pennie Smith.
| "By
all means buy Jon Savage's England's Dreaming for the
sociological side of the youth rebellion - but without
Sniffin' Glue you'd only have part of the punk picture.
And this handsome volume is the more entertaining part."
