Por Favor, mátame es una completa retrospectiva sobre la gestación y el nacimiento del punk, narrada por sus propios protagonistas. Sin embargo, al decir punk no hablamos tan sólo del estereotípico movimiento britanico del 77, sino tambien de la trepidante aventura musical que empezo a tomar forma bajo tierra a mediados de los años 60, en Estados Unidos, partiendo del Nueva York de 1966, con la Velvet Underground y Nico, Andy Warhol y los personajes de la Factory, el libro viaja a Detroit (MC5, Stooges), Nueva York de nuevo ( Patti Smith, New York Dolls, Ramones, Television... ), Gran Bretaña (The Clash, Sex Pistols...) para asi esclarecer el proceso por el cual fue alumbrado este excelso movimiento y su posterior impacto mundial.Esta edicion incluye bastantes novedades respecto a la publicada hace unos años en nuestro pais por otra editorial. Destaquemos, entre las mas importantes: un capitulo completamente nuevo con entrevistas incluidas en la ultima edicion americana; una extensa entrevista en exclusiva con los autores, realizada por Jaime Gonzalo (co-director de Ruta 66), que volo a Nueva York para charlar con Legs y Gillian; otra entrevista, tambien en exclusiva, con Danny Fields, un autentico pionero y protagonista de muchas de las escenas del libro, descubridor/manager de Stooges (entre otros), A&R de Elektra, agitador de las noches de Nueva York, Detroit, Los Angeles... sus palabras valen su peso en oro. Hay que resaltar tambien el minucioso trabajo que se ha hecho al volver a traducir el libro desde el original, ya que en la anterior edicion se omitieron sin motivo aparente decenas y decenas de pasajes, ademas de contener multitud de imprecisiones y una imperdonable falta de notas de traduccion. Como resultado ofrecemos la mejor version posible en nuestro idioma de este clasico contemporaneo. Y como somos tan puntillosos hemos vuelto a corregir laprimera edicion de hace unos meses, aprovechando que el libro se agoto.
