Jamie Reid with Sophie Richmond and Vivienne Westwood

Anarchy in the UK newspaper No. 1. Glitterbest: London [December 1976]

(450 x 320mm.), 12 pages, tabloid newspaper format, one horizontal fold, small chip to outer edge

This fanzine, the only one issued, was intended for the Anarchy tour and first went on sale on 20 December at the Cleethorpes concert (copies were brought up from London by Debbie Juvenile and Tracey O’Keefe). Its content spans visual profiles of the band members as well as of its early fans the ‘Bromley Contingent’, as well as a page contributed by Vivienne Westwood and Reid’s re-working of Situationist Suburban Press graphics. Incorporating photographs by Ray Stevenson from the group's September 1976 Paris trip and their first appearance at the 100 Club, as well as a cover photo of Soo Catwoman, the fanzine proclaims a punk transgressive antagonism.
