From 1976 to 1978, the young photographer Simon Barker was a member
of the "Bromley Contingent"--a group of avid Sex Pistols fans who
comprised the group's inner circle at the height of the punk
movement. Many of them, such as Jordan and Siouxsie Sioux, were
notorious for their daredevil dress sense, and several--such as
Sioux, Steven Severin, Adam Ant, Poly Styrene, Billy Idol, Viv
Albertine and Ari Up--went on to form some of the most important
bands of the era. This compilation of previously unseen photographs
by Barker shows these founders of punk in their earliest
incarnations--in bedrooms and kitchens, at public gigs and private
parties--before media and commerce sunk their claws into punk's
iconoclastic look and class politics. Taken with the simplest and
cheapest pocket cameras, the photographs in this collection
constitute Barker's "family album for the years 1976 to 1978." In
the spirit of the Pistols' "God Save the Queen," the volume closes
with a photographic sequence taken by Barker during the 1976
Jubilee celebrations, which shows Romanian tyrant Nicolae Ceausescu
hobnobbing with the Queen of England in the royal procession.
