“This image says everything about the Punk era to me – Jordan standing next to a 1959 AMI Jukebox which contained the DNA of pop music from the 50s, 60s and 70s, inside Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm Maclaren’s shop ‘Sex’ on the Kings Road. The story goes that when Steve Jones and Glen Mattock were working at the shop John Lydon came in with an ‘I hate Pink Floyd’ T-shirt on and they asked him if he was interested in being in their band he said no, as he couldn’t sing. So they asked him to mime to ‘18’ by Alice Cooper, he went crazy around the shop miming to the Alice Cooper track and that’s how he got into the Sex Pistols.” Matthew Murray 2020
