About the Item

A large screenprinted UK promotional poster issued by Virgin Records to promote the October 1977 release of the Sex Pistols only studio album 'Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols'. Despite the enduring controversy that surrounded the band, Rolling Stone praised the album as "just about the most exciting rock & roll record of the Seventies." British artist Jamie Reid has become synonymous with the Sex Pistols and pretty much defined the image of punk in the UK. His cut-and-paste aesthetic, featuring letters seemingly cut from newspaper headlines in the style of a ransom note, developed from his interest in radical politics. Reid designed this bus stop promo poster in the same dazzling dayglo yellow and pink colourway as the iconic album cover. An example of this poster is held in the permanent collection of the V&A Museum, London. CONDITION Archivally backed on linen with no restoration. Backing has smoothed some scattered light creases, predominantly to upper and lower eight inches of the poster. Minor nicks and chips to edges, the largest a half-inch closed tear to upper edge. A handful of tiny nicks to central yellow ground and a tiny scuff below 'P' in 'Pistols'. A few black printer's ink smudges to upper edge. Colours bright and bold.
