I actually shot this in 1985…see 1985 London Punk Entrepreneurs for the restored version.
We shot it on Kodak 7250 stock in one afternoon. Good old reversal film, very forgiving, but I had to recolour it after transfer to make it look more real. It’s a bit too faded and yellow in the version here. The voiceover I did is not meant to insult punks, but is meant to reflect the attitude of the English establishment at that time. A piss-take of the critics, but not of the punks, but many people cant see that. Howard Gipps 2016

There’s some great footage of punk squats in London set to Peter Tosh’s Steppin’ Razor on YouTube. I’d post it if I wasn’t on my phone.

I got that it was a joke… he’s just not very punk rock, IHO.

Wasn’t that called “The Young Ones”
