Originally issued in 1988, This Ain't No Disco is the only warts-and-all history of CBGB: memories, stories and gossip from dozens of insiders who worked, played or just hung out at New York’s legendary birthplace of punk rock.
Located on the rundown Bowery, CBGB was the epicenter of a new musical movement in the 1970s, launching the careers of the Ramones, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads and many other bands. This new edition contains a new foreword by Chris Frantz of Talking Heads and eight pages of newly selected photos by Ebet Roberts.

Roman Kozak (1948–1988) was born in a camp for displaced persons in Germany. He served as night news editor for The Daily American newspaper in Rome and then moved to New York, where he became an editor at Billboard magazine (1973–1983). He later wrote for The Music Paper and was an associate editor of Old Manhattan News and publisher of Rock Photo magazine. In 1987, he co-wrote a screenplay entitled The Bomb. This is his only book.
