Ork Records: New York, New York
Forget the worn-out yarns about London gobbers and safety-pin piercings - the true story of the birth of punk rock on 45
is the story of Ork Records, captured by Numero Group on four hefty LPs and told across 120 high-gloss pages filled with
insider photos and sordid details. It is a story populated by iconic names like Television, Alex Chilton, Lester Bangs,
Richard Hell, the Feelies, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Blondie and The Ramones. And it's a tale told from the
hallowed grounds of CBGB, Max's Kansas City, and Ardent Studios.
It all began with Terry Ork, a Jewish SoCal film nerd enthralled by Andy Warhol's posse as they made a transgressive
surfing flick, who moved cross-country to manage a movie memorabilia shop on the grubby streets of the Lower East Side.
Made in the shadows of disco and dereliction in late-'70s Manhattan, Ork Records: New York, New York is not just the
genesis of punk, it is the birth of the New York City scene and indie culture as we know it.
