Overview

When the late great Sean Body, founder of Helter Skelter Publishing, commissioned this book, he wanted the style to be that of 'two mates having a chat over a pint'. Parker, with O'Shea, has captured that brief brilliantly in a book that features many unique anecdotes about the Sex Pistols from inception to (numerous) comeback gigs. Parker's close relationship to Malcolm McLaren, Glenn Matlock and Anne Ritchie gives him a privileged inside view of the band; hence the word 'alternative' in the sub-title, as it is essentially a very personal view by Parker.
