It's a GREAT film...one of the very best rock 'n roll movies of the last 20
years, imho.

RUN rent the DVD asap!!

Has the best footage, most intelligently filmed and justaposed to existing
historical footage,  to capture the spirit of the explosion of punk in the
UK in 1976.

I was blown away by this and it is one fot he very few movies I own(just
never understood owning movies for some reason.....probably cause it saved
more money to buy more music, though, I have a funny feeling)

Peace,
