Review of "England's dreaming : anarchy, Sex Pistols, punk rock, and beyond" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I mistakenly thought that I had read this book but in fact I discovered that it wasn't this one.
This is great book. Probably the definitive history of the Sex Pistols written in as a day by day account of the events with lots of details provided by the original participants. The story of group of friends and acquaintances centred around a clothes shop in London who became within a few years the most famous people in the Western World. As kid in the 1970s it wasn't apparent that they all new each other. We knew them as the The Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Damned, Boy George, Adam & The Ants but they were all connected. Groups in the North of England copied and were inspired by them. It's an amazing story and a well written book. I will definitely listen to this again.
