Red set

About this book

In the autumn of 1976, two young British Fine Arts students travelled to New York on a university grant, but ended up staying with one of the city's pioneering punk journalists, visiting the Museum of Modern Art by day and hanging out in punk epicentre CBGBs by night. It is from this trip that Gang of Four emerged. Blending revelations from interviews with the band conducted by the author with snippets from newspaper articles and record reviews, Jim Dooley tells the history of Gang of Four as they remember it. From their days at art school through countless tours, records and reunions, Red Set is the definitive history of one of Britain's greatest and most influential bands."--Backcover.
