Morrissey: A letter regarding the New York Dolls and other punk bands,
dated September 8, 1976,
sent from his home at 384 Kings Road, Stretford, Manchester, one typewritten sheet of pale pink paper, reading, Bonjour Monsiuer, I spotted your advertisement in SOUNDS, but no, I don't have any live tapes or records...I have just returned from New York where I spent some time at C.B.G.B. Before I left I managed to see the Sex Pistols twice in Manchester (did you see any of my three letters in either Sounds, NME or Record Mirror??). I have always loved the Stooges. As for the Dolls, well that's a long story. I was involved in getting an Appreciation Society together via their ex N.Y. company Leber-Krebs. I have collected a vast amount of written materials on the band since their emergance (sic) in 1972...I could talk about them for ages, they are my all-time favourites...if you know anybody interested in the band, please give them my address as I'd be only too willing to correspond with them. Happy Hunting and signed Steven in black felt-tip pen and with musical note, framed, together with a page from an article from Uncut magazine on The Smiths including a photograph of Morrissey's former home, frame 19¼ x 14½ inches (49 x 37cm)
