Hand signed flyer advertising the exhibition titled 'Punk, Sex, Seditionaries and the Sex Pistols. 26th May - 7th August '05. Held at the Urbis, Manchester. The design of the flyer is of a 'Anarchy in the UK' handkerchief, originally owned by Sid Vicious. The exhibition drew on all strands of work involving the Sex Pistols, Malcom Mclaren and Vivienne Westwood.

**************************************

An exhibition info booklet of the same design also hand signed by Jamie Reid.

********************************

Rare book titled No Future - Sex, Seditionaries and the Sex Pistols. Rare 128 book produced for exhibition.   This beautifully put-together book is full of colour and b & w pics of super rare Westwood/McLaren clothing and Sex Pistols posters,flyers, hand-written lyrics, ect from the exhibition, together with supporting text.

The book was printed by the gallery in a small single print-run and has consequently now sold out. Less than two years since being printed, this book has already become a collectors item and will rank alongside Jamie Reid's 80's book 'Up They Rise'  as a must have for all serious Pistols/Seditionaires collectors. This copy is new and in perfect condition.

*****************************

A signed copy of Illustrated Ape magazine '04. Special limited edition with 6 pull-out posters. Co-curated (no mere editing here). by Jamie Reid. The magazine itself is a delicious and potent collection of Reid graphics, plus specially-commissioned poems and stories from pals and punters. Because of money restrictions at their end, it's had to be a black and white affair but Jamie gave them a whole selection of drawings, some of which went back 30 years, as well as some of more recent stuff. Hand signed in pen on inner.

*****************************

One copy of 'Up They Rise - The Incomplete Works of Jamie Reid' rare original 1987. Out of print.

The rise of British punk culture is documented in the memoirs and autobiographical fragments that accompany this visual career retrospective of artist Reid, best known for his Sex Pistol graphics. Inspired by McLuhan, jazz, and Jackson Pollock, Reid began his career with a radical, alternative "community press" in Croydon, London, in the early 1970s. He progressed to the Sex Pistols in 1976, starting with handbills and promotional posters that featured chaotic collages, crude marker scrawls and street-styled copy-machine techniques. He continued with record sleeves and film posters for the Pistols, but with a subversive intent. Reid's infamous creations, such as his "Anarchy in the UK" flag and a collage showing the Queen with a safety pin through her smile defined punk esthetics. Reid's startling color combinations are sadly absent from this black-and-white book. However, his anarchic spirit and the essence of "rot 'n' roll" explode on every page. 

***********************************

Nude Magazine issue 4 Hand signed by Jamie Reid, this has turned into a sought-after collectors item. We suspect that the involvement of a certain Mr Jamie Reid, creator of much of the artwork for the Sex Pistols may have something to do with that. This issue features the most extensive interview with him that we've ever seen, plus pages of his artwork from the Pistols to the present day...also this issue features the Suicide Girls ..a look at classic kitchen sink novels and plays from the 1950's (a Taste of Honey, Up the Junction etc)...an interview with Sparks...Anne Pigalle...council pop with graffiti artist Kid Acne. Signed by Jamie Reid on the front cover.
