One sheet rare 1977 promotional poster designed by Jamie Reid for two short films featuring the Sex Pistols. Poster Details and Meaning The poster, often titled "See What You’re Missing," was created to promote a double feature of "punk propaganda" films directed by Julien Temple: Sex Pistols Number 1: A 25-minute short film compiling news footage, TV interviews (including the infamous Bill Grundy incident), and live performances from the band's Anarchy in the UK tour. Never Mind the Sex Pistols, Here's the Problems (aka Sex Pistols Number 2): A film documenting the band's chaotic boat trip on the River Thames during Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. Design Elements Designed by the artist responsible for the iconic Never Mind the Bollocks album cover, the poster utilizes Jamie Reid's signature "ransom note" cut-and-paste aesthetic. It features numerous scandalous headlines and quotes that defined the band's public image at the time, such as:"They called the Queen a moron""Foul mouthed yobs""Filthy Lucre" |
