  A rare original country of origin 1985 UK quad film poster for Chris Bernard’s “Letter To Brezhnev” designed and illustrated by the British punk illustrator and designer, Jamie Reid, the artist responsible for most of the Sex Pistols’ influential graphics. This poster is featured in Sim Branaghan’s excellent book British Film Posters. He says of the poster and Palace Pictures – “The British producer and distributor, Palace pictures, maintained a higher design standard than most with the poster for Letter to Brezhnev one of the very last genuinely distinctive artist-designed British film posters”. Originally folded (as issued) this excellent example presents exceptionally well and represents a fine piece of collectable memorabilia from one of Punk’s best known artists.

  Trivia: The script was written in only two weeks and the film was shot in three weeks.

  The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle

  £695.00

  “The staggering story of the group who wrung the neck of rock ‘n’ roll !”

  Depending on who you believe Julien Temple’s true/untrue story of the rise & fall of the greatest punk band ever; The Sex Pistols in “The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle”. This original 1980 country of origin (UK) quad featuring M Hirsch artwork is as compelling as the film, almost 3D in design…you are drawn to the bold lettering, the black & white photography and lurking in the background the heavily stylised character artwork. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays to excellent effect being totally original and unrestored and presented in investment grade quality. A rare find in this exceptional condition and with ‘Punk Rock’ memorabilia achieving record prices a truly worthwhile purchase.

  Trivia: Marianne Faithfull was to play Sid Vicious‘ mother in the original draft of the film, but backed out at the idea of a sex scene.
