Omnibus Press presents the definitive collection of
Sniffin’ Glue… And Other Rock ‘n’ Roll Habits , the most vital and cutting edge punk fanzine of its time. This book features both a digital recreation of every issue
and all the original prints in their entirety. Danny Baker, who wrote for the original fanzine over four decades ago, provides a full-length interview on its impact.
During its brief existence
Sniffin’ Glue… chronicled the birth, rise and demise of punk rock in the UK. Starting with a print run of a mere 50 copies, by Issue 3 the circulation was into the thousands. Interviews and reviews of all the key punk artists – The Damned, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Generation X, Chelsea, Blondie, The Jam, Iggy Pop and more – alongside news, editorials and gig reviews depict the grassroots punk scene from the inside. Its authentic voice made it a cult classic of its time and a much sought-after historical artefact to this day.
On the 40th anniversary of the magazine’s final publication, Omnibus Press are providing the definitive edition of
Sniffin Glue… . This is the best possible way to experience the counter-cultural revolution of the ‘70s that spread anarchy throughout the UK.
