Loud Flash: British Punk on Paper documents an extraordinary archive of posters, flyers, fanzines and propaganda from the British punk era, collected over many years by artist Toby Mott. In addition to music industry material a section on politics looks at left and right wing propaganda associated with the scene of the time.
The book cover and section headers use a photocopier-generated 'white noise' background – a reference to the lo-tech production integral to the aesthetic of many of the flyers and fanzines in the collection. The illustrations are reproduced with four additional special colours.
Includes texts by Susanna Greaves, Toby Mott, Simon Ford, and Dr Matthew Worsley.
