Roxy club disc jockey Don Letts was given a Super 8 camera as a present by fashion editor Caroline Baker.

[1] A preliminary, 60-minute version of the film was shown in autumn of 1977 at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.

[1] The film features live footage of The Clash, Sex Pistols, Wayne County & the Electric Chairs, Generation X, Slaughter and the Dogs, The Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Eater, Subway Sect, X-Ray Spex, Alternative TV and Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers.

[3] All live footage was shot at the Roxy, except that of the Sex Pistols, who were filmed at The Screen On The Green cinema in London on 3 April 1977.

In addition, concerns were expressed that the soundtrack now included overdubbed material, as opposed to the original live recordings.
