Sex Pistols "From Beyond the Grave" Promotional Poster (Virgin, 1979). Ahh, poor Sid Vicious. Sid was the ultimate Punk Rocker, except for one basic thing -- he had absolutely no musical talent, whatsoever. His only real appeal was for shock value; when singer John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon left the group, the remaining three carried on, trading off on vocals, and Sid's big moments in front of the microphone were released as singles. This is the original promo poster for the release of Sid's "version" of the Eddie Cochran classic, "Something Else," as seen in Malcolm McLaren's film of the band, "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle". Sid was, of course, dead by this time, done in by his own image as much as anything. Good taste and Punk Rock never really went hand in hand, but this poster goes wa-a-a-a-y beyond that! It measures approximately 27.5" x 39.5", and is in VG- condition, with tackholes and edgewear.
