January 1976 saw the first photocopied issues of PUNK Magazine Issue #1 sold at the burgeoning downtown NYC club CBGB. When Rough Trade (U.K. Indie Label & Record Shop) imported thousands of copies of PUNK Magazine Issue #3 to England, it guaranteed attention for the Ramones’ legendary first UK performance (July 1976 at the Roundhouse) and the co-mingling of the U.S. and U.K. punk scenes. This underground zine would help define a generation and transform a downtown New York art and music scene into a global punk movement.
These are the only remaining copies of reprints of earlier issues or originals of new issues.
