PUNK magazine #20 Sid Vicious & Nancy Iggy & Stooges - eBay

This is a  new issue of PUNK, the original legendary 1970s 'zine. This issue features a cover story about Sid & Nancy by Eileen Polk, which features her photos of Sid & Nancy, Sid's concert at Max's Kansas City (backed by Mick Jones of The Clash, Arthur Kane of the New York Dolls and Jerry Nolan of the Heartbreakers), also there are two exclusive, never-before-published photos of Jerry Only with The Misfits from 1979 (one with Danzig). There is also a photo of Michelle Robison (Sid died at her apartment), and a pic of Sid with Richard Hell and Johnny Thunders backstage at a Blondie concert.

There's also an interview with Ron Asheton of The Stooges, where he's talking about their new tour and record. He also disses the "new" punk rock and reveals what he does in his spare time.

There are also ten pages of exclusive photos by Danny Fields, including five pages of live Stooges pics from 1973 (the Max's show), which show Iggy in his prime. There are also never-before-published pics of the Ramones, as well as a photo of Patti Smith with Bob Dylan and photos of Television (with and without Richard Hell).

There's also an interview with Jayne County where she disses Bowie and talks at length about her role as the first transpunk. There are some great pics of her from the 1970s.

There's some coverage of new bands as well, prominently an exclusive interview (with exclusive pics) of the Stalkers, the hottest band in New York City. There's also an interview with The Rats (not the KFC rats, this is the NYC Rats), and No Truth Lies from Florida. There's also a look at the Brooklyn DIY scene by Pat Byrnes, director of the "Saving CBGB" film doc.

The Listening Party reviews around 30 new CDs, and the reviewers include members of The Bullys--last issue's cover band!

There's the usual wacky stuff too. Robert Romagnoli contributes his "Updated Ramones" lyrics (very funny stuff). There's a couple of new Bosko strips by John Holmstrom, a new Demons comic strip by Avidor, a new strip by Spivak, and a review of the Rat Fink film by Trembles.

So what are you waiting for? Buy it, already!
