This is the London after party for the launch of the latest release on CTR. "Fame" - Jon Savage's Secret History Of Post Punk 1978 - 81. A very limited edition (500) double grey vinyl gatefold sleeve deluxe package with cover / liner-notes by Jon Savage. Jon curated the tracks on the album alongside CTR.
For those of you who may not know him, Jon can best be described as a cultural commentator, writer and long-time music journalist. (the guardian, the nme, the face, melody maker). he is also the Sex Pistols and Joy Division biographer and writer of the acclaimed 'Teenage' and soon-come documentary on the book. actually, he's really a secret national treasure.
The LP will be on sale at Rough Trade East from 12pm with a special DJ set from Jon.
