This has already been published in September 2006, shortly after the legendary New York club closed. There is a introduction by Richard Hell and then you can see what you missed – basically a dump, haha. The walls of the venue have been covered in graffiti and stickers since 3 decades and never been cleaned, painted or otherwise treated – so you get that authentic look of a indeed legendary club.

There is a schematic sheet of the room, so you have an idea how it was cut – very simple. There is the stage and seats, the green room, the bath rooms and the bar. And you get many photos of the club and its walls. 64 pages that document something that otherwise would have been lost, colour throughout (22,5×18 cm) paperback. 64 pages. 11,99 $ (dolf)
