Jamie Reid

Press kit, November 1976

(300 x 210mm.), 20 pages, green paper wrappers

Comprising early cuttings concerning the Pistols from February 1976 and their appearance at Andrew Logan’s party up to the release of 'Anarchy in the UK' in November 1976. It was produced prior to the expletive-laden television interview with Bill Grundy on 1 December 1976, which brought them unprecedented attention.

This and other similar press kits (see lot nos. 8, 24 and 27) were designed by Jamie Reid and compiled by him with Sophie Richmond who was Malcolm McLaren's secretary and oversaw the administrative and financial side of the Pistols. She was in a relationship with Jamie Reid through much of the 1970s.
