Every once in a while, when you think some dead body has been picked over as much as possible, something new pops up to surprise & delight. In this case, the dead body: '77-era UK punk; the surprise & delight: the wonderfully cheap & candid photos taken by Simon Barker - member of the legendary Bromley Contingent crowd. His new book
Punk's Dead shows these photos in all of their beauty...

Oh I just love the punk era and the makeup! Everyone is so boring now....
It seems this book did not get a great coverage.
I discovered it through a Banshees website.
I like your blog.
