<DIV><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The summer of 1976 through the summer of 1977 was the most significant year in British rock history, when punk rock rose from a murmur on the streets to a roar of defiance that still reverberates today. This collection of vivid memories of concerts and cultural&nbsp;flash points focuses on what was happening on the streets and in the clubs, answering questions like <I>What brought punks together with London&#8217;s disenfranchised Rasta community? What made Teddy Boys&#8212;middle-aged men who dressed like 1950s rockers&#8212;hate punks so much that they roamed in packs looking for teenagers to beat up? What was it like to be in the now legendary Roxy Club?</I><I> and Were the Sex Pistols really any good as a live band?</I> Memories from others who were there&#8212;including members of the Damned, the Adverts, the Patti Smith Group, the Maniacs, and the Tom Robinson Band&#8212;add to this story of punk rock as it happened, stripped of hindsight and future legend, and laid bare.</P></DIV>
