Quad an extremely rare
1977 A&M Records promotional poster for the Sex Pistols' iconic single, "God Save The Queen".
Key Details
Historical Significance: This poster was created to promote the A&M Records release of the single in March 1977. However, the Sex Pistols were dropped from the label only six days after signing, leading to the cancellation of the release and the destruction of most promotional materials.
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. |
