Jon Savage's 1991 book, England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond , was hailed by the New York Times Book Review as the definitive history of the English punk movement.
Widely imitated but never equaled, it remains that rare work of music history that appeals to music fans, critics, and scholars alike.
In researching England's Dreaming , Savage conducted hundreds of hours of interviews of which only a fraction made it into the finished book.
Now, in The England's Dreaming Tapes , Savage makes available for the first time the full, uncut, sensational story behind the cultural moment that was punk.
Here is the story of a generation that changed the world in just a few months in 1976, as told by the scene's major figures: all four original Sex Pistols as well as Joe Strummer, Chrissie Hynde, Jordan, Siouxsie Sioux, Viv Albertine, Adam Ant, Lee Black Childers, Howard Devoto, Pete Shelley, Syl Sylvain, Debbie Wilson, Tony Wilson, Jah Wobble, and many others.
Together, they offer a sweeping history of the late 1960s and the 1970s-not just the era's music, but also its radical politics, social issues, fashion, and culture.
An invaluable source of information about a movement that has become obscured by myth, these vivid, unvarnished interviews were conducted when punk was only a decade old.
In many cases, this was the first time that the subjects had talked about the period.
The interviews describe the founding of the Sex Pistols; 430 King's Road, site of the legendary boutique Sex, which helped establish the punk aesthetic; punk rock New York; the cultural landscapes of London and its suburbs; the writers who covered punk; and the Manchester music scene centered around Factory Records.
With The England's Dreaming Tapes , Savage gives us the first and final word on the music, fashion, and attitude that defined this influential and incendiary era.
