Written by David Wise (formerly of the pro-Situ group King Mob) in 1978, the text which is now known as "The End of Music" first circulated as mimeogeraphed typescript entitled "Punk, Reggae: A Critique" mainly among leftist intellectuals in the Leeds area of the United Kingdom. It compares and contrasts underlying strategies inherent to so-called punk and Situationist social critiques, and examines some of their common roots in the milieu of the late 1960s: "Part of the genesis of punk goes back 10 years to the English section of the Situationists and the subsequent King Mob group, a loose affiliation (hardly a group) of disparate though confused revolutionary individuals in England in 1968." A rarity.
