PUNK DIARY 1970-1982 INDEX
Here's the index from Punk Diary 1970-1982. Keep in mind, this is only the first ten pages of the INDEX. The complete index along has more solid information than most books on this subject, and it's only a small portion of this mighty tome. The book itself elaborates on each of these items, as well as illustrating many of them with adverstisments from music newspapers of the time, record sleeves and other ephemera. The book Punk Diary 1970-1982 is by far, the most complete and detailed reference book on punk music available, ever.
