Rusty staple, very good and crisp condition. Scarce.

This was cobbled together at the time of the group's first album release. Smith was CBS's Chief Press Officer. It reprints a Nick Kent article from the NME and much other stuff from the music press. This ephemeron highlights the importance of the big music papers and their star journalists on the development of punk.
