Scope and Contents
The Jeff Jankovic Flyers on Crime consist of 5 scanned images of concert flyers and one ticket for San Francisco punk band Crime. The collection sheds light on one of the first punk bands to emerge from the west coast in the late 1970s. Although Crime's music earned them a substantial niche fanbase, their promotional artwork created an equally substantial opposition due to their use of imagery that included police brutality, sadomasochism, and war criminals. Several items are inscribed by bassist, Ron "The Ripper" Greco.
Biography / Administrative History
Crime was an early punk band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1976 by Johnny Strike (vocals, guitar), Frankie Fix (vocals, guitar), Ron "The Ripper" Greco (bass; ex-Flamin' Groovies), and Ricky Tractor (Ricky Williams) (drums).
Existence and Location of Originals
Original flyers remain with the donor.
