Punk 45 : The Singles Cover Art of Punk 1976-80
Art of Punk 1976-80 - Book - by Jon Savage & S.Baker
(2022)
Contributors include Peter Saville, Richard Hell, Richard H Kirk,
Seymour Stein, Geoff Travis, Martin Moscrop, Glenn Branca, Jamie Reid,
Dave Robinson, Roger Armstrong, Martin Mills, Gee Vaucher, Savage
Pencil, Dennis Morris and more.
This book is a revelatory guide
to hundreds and hundreds of original 7” record cover sleeve designs –
visual artefacts found at the heart of the most radical and anarchistic
musical movement of the 20th century.
As well as the
encyclopaedic visual imagery featured inside, the book also includes
interviews with a number of significant figures in punk music: artists
and groups including Richard Hell, Martin Moscrop (A Certain Ratio),
Richard H Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire), Glenn Branca and David Thomas (Pere
Ubu); record label owners including Seymour Stein (Sire Records), Geoff
Travis (Rough Trade), Roger Armstrong (Chiswick), Martin Mills (Beggars
Banquet), Dave Robinson (Stiff Records), David Brown (Dangerhouse); and
the celebrated designers involved in creating punk’s original iconic
imagery – Peter Saville (Factory Records), Gee Vaucher (Crass Records),
Jamie Reid (Sex Pistols), Gee Vaucher (Crass Records) and Dennis Morris
(Public Image Limited).
The revolutionary do-it-yourself ethic
of punk was applied to the aesthetic of design as much as it was to
music, and record sleeves acted as lo-fi signifiers of anarchy, style,
fashion, politics and more with an urban and suburban invective courtesy
of the 1000s of new bands - punk, post-punk, pre-punk, nearly-punk and
more - that emerged at the end of the 1970s.
This book is an
exhaustive, thorough and exciting celebration of the stunning artwork of
punk music – everything from the most celebrated and iconic designs
through to the stark beauty of the cheapest do-it-yourself lo-fi
obscurities.
