Malcolm McLaren

English impresario, manager and recording artist best known for managing the Sex Pistols and for solo releases that mixed punk aesthetics with world music and early hip hop.

Born 1946, died 2010. Managed the Sex Pistols; was married to Vivienne Westwood. Duck Rock (1983) is noted for its collage approach and features cover art by Keith Haring (as mentioned in the review).

The available review treats Duck Rock as a collage that blends early hip hop, world music and 1980s pop culture. Malcolm McLaren is depicted as an influential, provocative figure tied to punk and to later genre-mixing experiments. The album is presented as niche but seminal, with notable artwork by Keith Haring.

For:Fans of punk history, 1980s music, worldbeat and experimental pop
