Product Description

Book Description

It was the most influential rock magazine of its time. It was called Sniffin' Glue and it's about to be recreated as a book.


From the Publisher

The Essential Punk Accessory revived!
Sniffin' Glue was the most vital and cutting edge punk fanzine of its time. It featured all the key artists of the time from The Ramones and the Sex Pistols to Blondie. Written by Mark Perry, this book takes an irreverent retrospective look at the heady days of punk, featuring superb original photographs from the likes of Jill Furmanovsky and Pennie Smith and a full- length interview with TV and radio personality Danny Baker, who wrote for the original fanzine over 20 years ago at the start of his career. And for the collector there are all 12 original issues of the magazine reproduced in their entirety.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book; buy it, 19 Dec 2000
In January,1977 a friend lent me a very worn out copy of 'Anarchy in the UK', with the warning that it could well be addictable. It had far more of a profound effect than this. 'Sniffin Glue' documents how Punk changed everything. This was no exclusive club demanding a list of attributes as part of it's inclusion criteria. Anyone could be a player. The image cost next to nothing other than the ingenuity of deciding where to apply the rips and zips. The philosophy was even simpler: 'Do anything you wanna do!'. Mark Perry describes how the change agents were based on the ground floor and that this accesibility was their strength. Long before Yosser Hughes, thousands of kids were screaming from the dancefloor 'I can do that!', and within weeks were providing the entertainment themselves. Perry's story is shared by so many teenagers of the mid-to-late seventies. The main difference of course is the fact that he had the energy, talent and foresight to get off his arse and publish this passionate diary of the day, which was the fanzine 'Sniffin Glue'. At the time Perry had a unique advantage over his peers in the music press in that he had no requirement to adhere to any hidden agendas, politics or arty farty journospeak twaddle. Here was an honest commentary on what was actually going on, warts 'n' all.

'Sniffin Glue' should not be viewed so much as a piece of memorabilia or reminiscence therapy. It is instead a chronicle of a movement, which proved to be the catalyst for everyone outside of the convention to chase their dreams, not to mention the fact that every great guitar band over the last 20 years owe so much to the punk pioneers who broke down the barriers in the first place.

Uplifting and seminal. Buy it!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars At last, a chance to read the original punk fanzine!, 4 Jan 2001
I can remember looking for Sniffin Glue in record shops in Glasgow in 1977 - nobody seemed to have heard of it! Now at last a chance to read it - albeit 23 years since my interest in punk waned! What is most interesting is the coverage given to pub rock acts like Roogalator/Hot rods/Gorillas etc - I had always imagined there was a clear dividing line beteween the genres - at least to the hip London crowd. Also illuminating is Mark P. and D. Baker's interest in dinosaur rock acts like ELP!

5.0 out of 5 stars Alternative England in 1976, 28 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This book means more to me than to 99.99999% of the rest of the world. This book means more to me than 99.99999% of the world I currently live in.This book is the only book you will ever read that gives an honest appraisal of the most exciting moment in British pop music.This book is a wonderful piece of social history, a painfully truthful document about the insecurities of being a teenager, a satirical look at the music scene of the mid70s and a manifesto for a part of British youth that didn't have it's head shoved permanently up its own arse. Compared to today's media saturated computer kids these people were touched by genius. Small is beautiful, get off your arse, follow no one lead yourself, all the slogans of the day came directly from this mag. Mark P and Danny Baker were innovators, working class, and full of passion. Shit, I wish I was 19 again !
