4.0 out of 5 stars
Very Good, Very Specific, May 18, 2007
This review is from: Up Yours! (Paperback)
Vernon Joynson has written THEE books on Prog and Pysch.
Here he seeks to Identify and organize ONLY '76-'82 UK punk/oi, new wave, mod, power pop, and post punk.
It DOES NOT include Two Tone(ska revival) or rockabilly/roots revivalists, metal(NWOBHM), and some post punk.
It DOES NOT deal with U.S. punk/new wave.
However, it is exhaustive on UK punk/oi, new wave and mod. You will not find anything this comprehensive on UK punk 1976-1982 anywhere else. Works very well with Trouser Press Record guides.
If you need to investigate punk/new wave further search out The Rock Yearbook series on St.Martin's Press(these were put out in the early 80's.)
