In this episode, we sit down with filmmaker Drew Stone and photographer Gregory Rudolph Smith, aka Rudy, to uncover the story behind London 77: The Lost Archive. Rudy shares how he unintentionally became a documentarian of London’s emerging punk scene in 1977 while trying to get his life back on track. Armed with a camera and an outsider’s perspective, he captured powerful images of icons like Adam and the Ants, Generation X, and Crass, then put the negatives in a storage locker where they sat for decades. We discuss the cultural impact of the era, the process of rediscovery, and the thrill of preserving a moment in music history.
