Here it is, one of the RAREST of ALL SEX PISTOLS artefacts, it is something that you simply will not have seen and will I am quite sure never see for sale again. I received this coloured mini-poster in perfect condition from a promoter who worked for the German National Television ZDF over 20 years ago. As some of you may know, the SEX PISTOLS planned to tour Germany in 1977, but it never happened, as they say, the rest is history!!! At that time, German National TV channel ZDF had a music TV show called “Disco 77" which was basically the German answer to famous British TV show “Top Of The Pops”. This 8,25 inch x 11,40 inch (21 cm x 29 cm) mini-poster was made by the German arm of the “Virgin” label in conjunction with their German distributor “Ariola” (both companies are mentioned on the poster), and planned to distribute this poster to the handful of promoters within this division of the German National TV channel. This poster is UNRELEASED and UNCIRCULATED and as far as I know it was given only to those who worked for “ZDF”. The poster was given to promote the 1st German pressing of the “Pretty Vacant” single and as such came with the single too which is also for sale here. Both, the poster and record have the same catalogue number (11 331 AT). The following message is printed on the poster: SEX PISTOLS, ZUM 1. MAL IN DEUTSCHLAND. ZUM 1. MAL IM DEUTSCHEN FERNSEHEN. AM 17.9. IN ´DISCO 77` ZDF. That translates into English as: SEX PISTOLS, FIRST TIME IN GERMANY. FIRST TIME ON GERMAN TELEVISION. ON 17th SEPT ON `DISCO 77' ZDF. The poster is UNFOLDED and is in PERFECT condition (a superclean copy). The FIRST German pressing of "Pretty Vacant" was issued in a MUCH LIGHTER picture sleeve than its UK counterpart. UK issues have the band name near the top of the front of the sleeve. This German issue has the band name near the bottom (see scan). You are bidding on the FIRST pressing with original black & white twin label logos (see scan). As you may know, the second German pressings have coloured label logos. Released in 1977, the sleeve and vinyl of the 7” are still in excellent condition. This UNRELEASED item is so rare it never appears on peoples wants lists as they don’t even know it exists, it's THAT RARE!!!!! "Pretty Vacant” / “No Fun” German 1st press from 1977 with complete NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED mini-poster for the National German TV promoters. The poster is 100% genuine and in stunning condition. Due to the rarity of this item I am insisting that all bidders have at least 10 (ten) different positive feedbacks otherwise I reserve the right to cancel your bid unless you contact me first for consideration. I cannot believe you will see this again, it may well even be the only surviving copy for all I know!! Good luck to you all!! Payment: Europeans via paypal or by bank transfer. Overseas via paypal only. German customers should send the money to my bank account. Please add 5% to the total if you send the payment via paypal, thanks.
