The now defunct weekly UK music paper,
Sounds, had a reputation for championing Rock and Heavy Metal above everything else. Writers
Garry Bushell and
Jon Savage raved and wrote about
Oi and
Punk respectively but there was more to the paper.
1977: The Queen’s Jubilee and the height of
Punk in the media, right? Not by late November in Sounds it wasn’t, this was also the year
‘Trans Europe Express’ was released.
