The Sex Pistols ‘God Save The Queen’ on A&M Records has gone on sale for ã10,000.
No future? Sex Pistols 'God Save The Queen' for sale at ã10 000
Record Collector magazine editors explained that the ‘version of the 1977 single is the world’s most valuable vinyl disc because the punk legends, fronted by Johnny Rotten, were dropped by the label before the track’s release and most copies were destroyed.
The single, which is available for sale on www.991.com, is said to be a “mint, unplayed copy… obtained from an ex-industry source with impeccable credentials”.
The description states, “This is not only one of the rarest records in existence but is certainly the most sought after and no serious record collection is complete without it.”
This was always the ultimate punk collectors artefact but is paying ã10 000 for a punk rock single not really the point of punk rock!

This is obviously ‘Punk Rock’ for Bankers,Internet Giants or Lottery winners! No working class punk rock fan could ever justify paying this amount of money for a 7″ Single.Just another case of corporate greed rearing it’s ugly bloated head in the arts…
