Sex Pistols scrapbook, London, 1977

scrapbook (300 x 210mm.), 56 pages, printed card wrappers, some wear

This was the first book to be published on the Sex Pistols and comprises photographs of the band by Stevenson alongside contemporary press reports. The design and layout of the book owes much to Reid. Reprinted many times, this is the rarely encountered true first edition published by Stevenson himself. The first printing was supressed and re-issued when the Sex Pistols attempted to sue Stevenson because the cover design was too close to the album cover of Never Mind the Bollocks. When re-issued it was also renamed The Sex Pistols File and included revisions following the death of Sid Vicious.

Owned by Sid Vicious.
