The Sex Pistols. Sid Vicious, Johnny Rotten and Steve Cook. 10th March 1977
The Sex Pistols. Sid Vicious, Johnny Rotten and Steve Cook.
10th March 1977. London.
There are back again - the group you love to hate !
After their outrageous TV performance, and being " Fired" by EMI Records, the group are coming back with a new world wide recording deal with A&M Records.
Their first A&M single, " God Save The Queen" will be released at the end of this month. (Note: The company will not release an advance copy of the record, or the lyrics.)
Today, The Sex Pistols had a mod contract singing outside Buckingham Palace, and Press Conference later. The Press Conference was incredibly boring, only relieved by the group attempting to put a bottle of Scotch over hard-working photographers"

EDITORS COMMENTS
Rebellious and unapologetic, The Sex Pistols return to the spotlight in this iconic print captured on 10th March 1977. Sid Vicious, Johnny Rotten, and Steve Cook stand defiantly, embodying the punk rock movement that both shocked and captivated audiences worldwide. Fresh off their infamous TV performance and subsequent dismissal by EMI Records, the band resurfaces with a vengeance. Securing a new global recording deal with A&M Records, they are poised to unleash their first single under this label - "God Save The Queen" set for release at month's end. However, A&M refuses to provide an advance copy of the record or its lyrics. On this eventful day in London, The Sex Pistols sign a mod contract outside Buckingham Palace before facing an uninspiring Press Conference. Amidst the monotony, photographers find solace when the group playfully attempts to douse them with a bottle of Scotch - a testament to their unpredictable nature. Bill Rowntree's photograph encapsulates not only the raw energy and defiance of punk but also captures a pivotal moment in music history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst controversy and adversity, true artists persevere and leave an indelible mark on culture. This Memory Lane Prints image transports us back to an era defined by rebellion against societal norms—a time when The Sex Pistols challenged conventions while becoming both loved icons and hated provocateurs.
