Damn, I never saw a Sex Pistols show - they had such a short, but certainly unforgettable career.

But this well done book is the next best thing to being there. Great photos from the early days in London and the infamous US tour are included together with groupie shots and record label exec shots. The photos include both color as well as black and white. Somehow, the almost dreamlike B&W shots seem to capture the essence of the dark clubs and the punk scene in a different way than color photography, so the inclusion of both enhances the book. The text and captions are good, adding value without drawing too much away from photos that speak for themselves of a band that created their own rules.

After 15 years of looking for this book, I finally found a copy and I am not letting it go. A must have for any Sex Pistols/Sid Vicious fan.
