The Flowers of Romance

Written By Richard Hirst

I wrote about Public Image Ltd's The Flowers of Romance for The Quietus, on the occasion of the record turning 40 years old. 

I spoke to John Lydon, Martin Atkins and Nick Launay about its context, recording and  legacy.

You can read their reminiscences alongside my general wittering on the topic of its resonance in our terrible Covid-age on The Quietus here.
