PUNKING OUT RARE LIMITED EDITION DVD New Print Master Preserved by The Donnell Media Center of The New York Public Library With Funding From The Carnegie Corporation of New YorkThis is an original DYI film at the center of it all during the birth of Punk Rock at CBGB in NYC 1977. It stars The Ramones, The Dead Boys, Richard Hell & the Void Oids, fans, celebrities, tourists, weekend punks, and CBGB staff. Audiences were entertained through the '80's and '90's at college campus screenings, on PBS and in the theater -- most notably with Rock'n'Roll High School and Quadrophenia. It continues to be lauded and celebrated--most recently at The New York Underground Film Festival. Punking Out is credited as the critical source for information in the 33 1/3 Series Book on The Ramones - the 1st album. MTV, VH1, and indie filmmakers have used footage from it for various feature shows over the last 20+ years. Originally cut from some 30 hours at NYU Film School to be a short feature on PBS in 1978 to introduce the documentary Bad Boys (that inspired the TV series) by Alan Raymond but was dropped due to strong language and our refusal to censor.
