First wave punk made it to the State Fair back in 2007. Never heard this Suicide Commandos song before; it's like one-half Huskers, one half 'Placemats.

FIRST WAVE "RANSOM-STYLE" UK PUNK LETTERING BEGINS RIGHT HERE.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1957x2556 -- Spotlight on a SEX PISTOLS handbill/gig flyer for a live performance at the 100 Club, 100 Oxford Street, London, England, on August 31, 1976.

GIG FLYER OVERVIEW: "This promotional handbill for a gig on 31 August 1976 marks the earliest known use by Reid of the "ransom-style" lettering that became integral to the band's visual style – the resulting SEX PISTOLS logo was a cornerstone of Reid’s design work for the band. The band's own songs -- all written over the previous months -- are also listed in this bill and this aspect of the handbill was later reproduced on the covers of the Glitterbest press kits. The photograph of Rotten and Jones used for this handbill is by Ray Stevenson."
