Description
FOR SALE A RARE COPY OF THE SEX PISTOLS 7 " GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
EXECELLENT CONDTION PLAYED !!!!!!!!
A rare copy of the Sex Pistols' controversial single God Save The Queen FOR AUCTION ON EBAY
This record is one of a handful out of 25,000 that were not destroyed by the punk band's former record company.
In near mint condition, it is among the most valuable records ever pressed in Britain.
A&M Records ditched the rebellious punk rockers because of their bad behaviour on March 10, 1977- just six days after signing them.
A series of incidents including Sid Vicious breaking a toilet bowl, cutting his foot and trailing blood all over the office and John Lydon making a death threat to a good friend of A & M's English director was enough for the company to wash their hands of them.
Nearly all of the 25,000 copies of the single that had been pressed in the six days were promptly destroyed.
Only nine copies with the original A & M sleeve are known to exist today
This record was given to me by a former factory worker .
The single was later released by Virgin, reaching No 2 in the charts. But its controversial lyrics and cover, featuring a defaced picture of the Queen, meant the BBC refused to play it.
'There are very few in existence as most were destroyed when the band was dropped. Just a handful were kept behind by people in the industry.
This record was given to me by a former factory worker many years go so this is 100 % the REAL DEAL !!!!
