Legends of Punk : Photos from the Vault

During the heyday of the punk era, young photographer Rikki Ercoli took his Nikon everywhere, documenting the wildly energetic scene. Shot at live concerts and backstage in London, New York, and other U.S. cities, these never-before-seen black-and-white photos include Sid and Nancy at Max's Kansas City; Patti Smith playing a clarinet solo; Blondie?s Debbie Harry putting on mascara backstage; Jello Biafra in the mosh pit midperformance; The Dead Boys' Stiv Bators performing with a mike cord wrapped maniacally around his neck; as well as classic moments onstage from The Ramones, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, and more. Other celebrities caught in performance or on the scene include Marianne Faithful, Edie the Egg Lady (of John Waters movie fame), and Lance Loud. This book is a powerful photographic record of punk's greatest bands and stars.
