Sex Pistols "God Save the Queen" Limited Edition Print #86/200 (1997). The Sex Pistols were already infamous for their antics on and off the stage by the time they released their second single, "God Save the Queen," in May, 1977 -- just a couple of weeks before Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. A scathing attacked fired full broadside at the British Royal Family and the English establishment in general, the song was quickly banned from airplay by the BBC. It still managed to take the #2 spot on the U. K. album charts and secure status as a Brit-punk anthem. This large limited edition print issued in 1997 features lyrics from the song combined with a portrait of the Queen with a safety pin through her lip. It is signed by artist Jamie Reid and framed to an overall size of 35" x 46". In Excellent condition. Includes a letter of authenticity.
