A scarce 1977 Sex Pistols promotional poster issued by Warner Bros. Records in 1977 to promote their album Never Mind The Bollocks.

American designer Ronn Spencer designed this day-glo classic, explaining “When Warner Bros. signed the Pistols one of the art directors remembered my work and suggested sending some examples to Malcolm [McLaren, the Pistols manager], proposing I handle the stateside graphics. My graphics had the deliberately sloppy and aggressive style that grew out of my involvement with the largely Neo-Dadaist mail art group that was funded by a Canadian government arts grant in the early 70s. Malcolm agreed with the stipulation that I work with his American representative, Rory Johnston. Rory sent everything I did to Malcolm for final approval…We never cleared anything with WB even though they paid me and not [McLaren’s company] Glitterbest. We had carte blanche to do anything we wanted.”

In Excellent condition; machine folded, as originally sent out, light handling, minor fraying to the right edge, a small tape pull to the right edge near the bottom, and a crease to the bottom right corner.
