Poster promoting the Sex Pistols' last shows in the UK: their ''Never Mind The Bans'' tour. The poster's designer Jamie Reid puts the punk band's image to work, proudly displaying a collage of rejection letter clippings from venues that refused to host them. One reads: ''...The unfortunate reputation they have gained seems to bring in its wake inevitable scenes of violence and resulting damage...'' Slated to play eight shows in the UK from 16-25 December 1977, the turmoil-laden band had to cancel half of them and would never play the UK again. Sid Vicious would die of a heroin overdose on 1 February 1979 at age 21. Very large poster measures 26'' x 38''. Toning, creasing, and scattered tears to edges and separation at fold intersections. In very good condition in a plain black frame. A scarce Sex Pistols poster from the height of their punk rock reign. With provenance from Christie's.
