[TD]Soul Jazz Records‘ massive new deluxe 400-page punk 45s cover art book is edited and compiled by Jon Savage (author of the seminal book on punk, ‚England’s Dreaming‘) and Stuart Baker (founder of Soul Jazz Records).

This book features the original full-size singles cover art of hundreds of punk groups – everyone from the pre-punk roots of The Stooges, MC5 and New York Dolls on to punk’s birth in New York (Ramones, Talking Heads, Voidoids, Dead Boys) and London (Pistols, Clash, Buzzcocks), and then its rapid growth around the world.

The American Nation Destroys Its Young – Underground Punk In The United States 1973-80, featuring tracks by Electric Eels, Pere Ubu, Flaming Groovies, Theoretical Girls, The Normals, The Urinals and many more.
