Autonomy - Portrait of a Buzzcock: Special Edition Signed Hardback Book

This is a signed and numbered special - edition hardback book housed in a custom slipcase. It comes with a photograph print of the Buzzcocks. Only 500 copies were made in this one - time edition, and we have 100 available! Bass player turned lead guitarist, Steve Diggle, has been the driving force behind the Buzzcocks since he met Pete Shelley in 1976. Together, they set the Manchester music scene on fire, launched the indie movement, and became one of the most beloved and influential punk groups ever. After Shelley's tragic death in 2018, Autonomy is Diggle's in - depth account of their musical journey, from the band's punk beginnings supporting the Sex Pistols with original singer Howard Devoto to their appearances on Top of the Pops, the excesses of success, break - up, reformation, and life after loss. It's a funny, honest, and philosophically touching story of working - class escape, dreams, redemption, and an ultimately heroic survivor's tale from an unstoppable rock 'n' roll spirit. As Will Sergeant of Echo & the Bunnymen said, 'Steve Diggle's approach to bass and later guitar was crucial in shaping the entire punk movement. Autonomy captures the excitement of first hearing the Buzzcocks in 1977.'
