Description
Malcolm McLaren
Press release for the Sex Pistols
mimeograph typescript, one page, folio (300 x 210mm.), c. April 1976
"We hate everything."
The text penned by McLaren gives a potted history of the band up to the gig at the El Paradise strip club (4 April 1976) and ends: ‘The Sex Pistols spontaneity and honesty threatens all the highly packaged pop of the past’. The earliest known press release for the Sex Pistols by McLaren, and one of only a very few to have survived.
