Sex Pistols- God Save the Queen
Quad an extremely rare
1977 A&M Records promotional poster for the Sex Pistols' iconic single, "God Save The Queen".
Key Details

Rarity: There are estimated to be fewer than 10 original copies of this specific poster in existence.
Design: Measuring approximately 31" x 40.5", it features a stark design with "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" in bold blue lettering and "Sex Pistols" in red handwritten-style font on a white background.
Artist: The promotional typography is attributed to artist Jamie Reid, who was responsible for the band's most famous visual branding.
The single was eventually released by Virgin Records in May 1977, coinciding with Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, and became one of the most controversial and successful songs of the punk era.
