From Ari Up Jah Wobble David Byrne Green Gartside Edwyn Collins it also includes conversations with the most influential of label bosses managers record producers deejays and journalists - such as John Peel and Paul Morley. Crackling with argument and anecdote these conversations bring a rich human dimension to the post-punk story and its exceptional characters from their earliest days to their glorious and sometimes disastrous musical adventures. Along with interviews we get 'overviews': further reflections by Simon Reynolds on post-punk's key icons and crucial scenes including John Lydon and Public Image Ltd Ian Curtis and Joy Division and the lineage of glam grotesquerie running from Siouxsie &amp; The Banshees to the New Romantics to Leigh Bowery.
