The Shakin’ Street Punk Survey
uncredited writer, Shakin' Street Gazette, 7 November 1974
THIS IS YOUR BIG CHANCE! Yes, its all coming back. Following the rock & roll revival, the surf music revival, and the reggae revival, the punk music revival is now in full swing. Punk rock, of course, is for the form of music which originated in the early 1970s when rock writers en masse began writing about all the albums they threw away in 1967 (only to scour the bargain bins for in 1971), and which reached its height in 1972 when the Nuggets collection stormed the nations charts.
