Rip It Up and Start Again
2005 book by Simon Reynolds
Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978–1984 is a book by Simon Reynolds on the post-punk musical genre and era. It was first released in the UK in April 2005 by Faber & Faber.[1] The US edition was published by Penguin Books and released in February 2006.[2] It is a shorter version, with several chapters either removed or condensed, and without the large number of illustrations in the UK edition. Reynolds notes this was for space and cost reasons.[3]
