197741299Los Angeles: Warner Bros 1977. Very good. Original 1977 promotional poster for the US release of the Sex Pistol's only studio album NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS HERE'S THE SEX PISTOLS. Featuring a large B&W image of Rotten with a smaller photo inset of the band and a two line quotation from "No Future" "We're the flowers in the dustbin." the poster lacks the signature Jamie-Reid designed intensity of the Pistols' UK promotional items.

Scarce. Not in Burgess and Parker but reproduced in Savage's ENGLAND'S DREAMING see color photo inset. 24'' x 33''. Color poster printed verso only. Folded in sixths presumably as issued. Some wear at edges. Warner Bros unknown

197721788Belfast ca. 1977-1981. Wraps. Very good. Folio. Commercial Dickinson Robinson brand scrapbook containing 16 leaves all with newspaper and magazine clippings pertaining to the Sex Pistols adhered with glue and sticky tack. 40 pieces with many full- page and double- page spreads. Clippings with publication details include Super Sonic Oct. 1979 New Musical Express July August Dec. 1978 Feb. July Dec. 1979 Sounds Pink Smash Hits Sunday People Feb. 1979 Daily Mirror Feb. 1979 and the Irish Independent Feb. 1979. Also includes in a clear plastic sleeve 50 loose clippings from inch-square images of Rotten to large NME double-page spreads. Several multi-page articles including “ The Punk Process” by Jon Savage The Face as well as selections from Smash Hits April 1979 Record Mirror June 1979 NME Feb. April Oct. 1979 Feb. June 1980 Super Sonic Pink Starlight April 1979 Boy Oh Boy! and The Face Dec. 1981. Overall about very good with moderate wear and soil. The sticky tacked clippings on several leaves detached but present. <br/><br/>A fascinating selection of Sex Pistols fandom assembled by one Eileen Walsh who the provenance suggests was a sixteen years old Belfast teen when she began. Collected from a variety of magazines NME Super Sonic Sounds Sunday People Smash Hits Pink Super Star the Irish Independent the collection is striking for its relative emphasis on teen-mag style "heartthrob" mags not typically associated with the Pistols who were after all in many ways a boy band: “Aaaah the lovely Johnny! A dead cert for the Top Three in anybody’s chart! He’s so cute you can forget all those stupid spitting ‘n ’ swearing scenes the Pistols staged to get noticed. Johnny’s quite acceptable now.” The first clipping dates from October 1977 and the next is from July 1978 after the band had already broken up. The scrapbook tracks the band's publicity after their breakup through Sid Vicious' death Feb. 1979 and the 1980 film THE GREAT ROCK N' ROLL SWINDLE. While the clippings lean heavily on Johnny Rotten there are plenty of Sid and the band plus several clippings about Sid’s death: “Sid’ s Last Exit After Orgy” “The Fix” “Sid Vicious Drugs Death” “Final Curtain of a Violent Young Life” and “Sid Vicious – Now a Poison Probe.” An unexpected vernacular archive of punk much of it now undoubtedly lost to time. paperback books

364602United Kingdom 1976. Softcover. Near Fine. Two programs. Octavos. Stapled pictorial wrappers. Near fine or better with only a bit of wear along the spine. Two English football programs from 1976 Manchester City F.C. Match Mag and Ipswich Town that include two of the earliest examples of the Jamie Reid-designed Sex Pistol adverts one full page and one half page for the Pistol's infamous Anarchy in the U.K. tour. Both are dated December 4 1976 just three days after the Pistol's first run-in with the press after famously cursing on a live evening broadcast of Thames Television's Today program. And like that appearance these ads demonstrated the media savvy of both the Pistols and their manager Malcolm McLaren who knew that a concert audience of football hooligans was far more likely to generate press coverage. It is well-established that many of the early instigators of the punk scene were football fans as evidenced by the influence of football zines on music zines and their occasional commingling. At the very least the ads are prima facia evidence of McLaren's brilliant and unusual marketing of the tour that brought punk into the public eye. unknown

41240London: n.p. 1976. First Edition. Very good. Original flyer from a series of dates that would help define the legendary and infamous band. Beginning in 1976 The Sex Pistols' took up Tuesday night residency at the 100 Club a venue better known until then for jazz gigs that would be pivotal for the band. As Jon Savage has written in his definitive ENGLAND'S DREAMING: "In the intimate setting of the 100 Club the group could relax enough to take risks with their material and their performances. There they began to master their equipment using the acoustics of the small club to experiment with overload feedback and distortion. Electric amplification had provided much of the excitement of early Rock'n'Roll: pushing their equipment to the limit . the Sex Pistols twisted their limited repertoire into a noise as futuristic as their rhetoric" 177. The club also served as location for the famed 100 Club Punk Special a two-day festival featuring the Pistols The Damned The Buzzcocks The Clash Siouxsie and the Banshees and other unsigned acts an event that was instrumental in bringing punk to the mainstream. It was also at the 100 Club pogoing was first invented a development often attributed to Sid Vicious but more likely simply fans' practical response to poor visibility in the tight confines of the club. Describing the June 29th date of which bootlegs exist Savage writes: "But the 100 Club take is something else. Here the Pistols are wound up to a pitch of impossible tautness: they swoop and drive through their fifteen songs more than half of all they would ever play in their brief life." This performance also almost certainly marked the first public performance of "Flowers of Romance." In addition the July 6 date is significant the first "real" show by The Damned who opened. Together two landmark performances for the group that defined British punk rock. While Reid's more commercial work for the Pistols appears with some regularity early and ephemeral promotional items like this are decidedly more scarce. And after Reid's iconic "God Save the Queen" flyer arguably the defining Sex Pistols handbill perfectly combining the raw energy of the group with Reid's signature punk style. This image was also utilized by Reid in his design of the Sex Pistols' press kit. 8.25'' x 11.75'. Broadside handbill. Offset duplicated recto only. Artwork by Jamie Reid featuring a repeated image of Rotten/Lydon snarling into a mic. Very good with some flattened creases and a 1/3" edge tear on the bottom. n.p. unknown
