WWWhatsup Clash -City Rockers Pins
The birth of the pinstand and the Clash happened to coincide. It was outside the front of the Fulham Greyhound after the last 101'ers show that I decided to do badges at the Ramones Roundhouse show. Bernie hated the original 76 spiky design, so in 77 an agreement was made. BB paid for the gear to go to Europe on the first tour, dropped the old design and ran the 'police' pin. Definitive as it was, it became BB's top selling pin bar none in the original punk era. Later Terry Razor took over merch and ordered large quantities of new designs.
