A rare and visually powerful edition, Destroy is the Japanese release of Denis Morris’ explosive photographic archive of the Sex Pistols an ephemeral but seismic group born in 1976 under the provocation of Malcolm McLaren.

Through raw, unfiltered imagery, Morris documents the Pistols not just onstage or on tour, but in stolen moments of intimacy, rebellion, and vulnerability. His lens doesn’t stop at the band: it turns toward the crowd, the fans, the chaos. This is not just a music book it’s a time capsule of cultural combustion.

Published in Japan in 2002 by Rockin’on Editions, this first edition is an object of beauty and subcultural importance, printed with high production values and a distinctly Japanese editorial sensibility. It’s a testament to punk’s global reach and its local, fanatical echoes.

Highly recommended for collectors of punk archives, Japanese pressings, and the visual mythology of the Sex Pistols.
