When punk first broke in the UK in 1976, music journalist John Ingham was on hand to document the very heart of the scene. After seeing The Sex Pistols in April of 1976, Ingham knew punk was the future. A founding writer for the British music paper Sounds, Ingham chronicled the emerging punk movement that ground shaking year and beyond, writing variously for The Observer, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, NME, CREEM, Mojo, Uncut, and a number of anthologies on the subject. Spirit of 76 provides a previously unseen view of the beginning of the punk movement, with portraits of the sex pistols, The Clash, Subway Sect and The Damned at the very beginnings of their careers.
