Synopsis

<div><p>&#34;An enor-mous-ly ambitious and sonorous work of the eye-magination.&#34; &#8212;Lawrence Ferlinghetti<br><i>The Diamond Signature</i> is what Penny Rimbaud considers his most important work. It formed the basis for the band CRASS, who revolutionized both punk rock and politics in a blistering seven year career, which found them reviled by the mainstream, and revered by hundreds of thousands in the underground they helped to create.<br>&#34;The first draft of <i>The Diamond Signature</i> was completed in 1974 and since then has been revised countless times. I have always regarded it as an organic work that could be added to or taken away from at will&#8212;several sections of it were adapted for us by CRASS, the anarchist punk band with whom I was drummer and lyricist, other sections have been liberally scattered through subsequent novels.&#34;&#8212;From the preface.</p><p>Penny Rimbaud was a cofounder of the Stonehenge Free Festivals, and the main protagonist in the legendary anarchist punk band CRASS. He is the author of <i>A Series Of Shock Slogans And Mindless Token Tantrums</i> and the spoken word CDs <i>Christ&#39;s Reality Asylum</i> and <i>The Death Of The Imagination</i>.<br></p></div>
