An original concert poster advertising the second of the two legendary concerts in Manchester in July 1976 with the Sex Pistols, supported by Buzzcocks (who organised the concerts) and Slaughter and the Dogs. This example measures 61 x 42.5cm. Shows evidence of folds, edge wear, light losses etc.

Provenance: the vendor attended a free concert in July of 1978, also at The Free Trade Hall, with Buzzcocks performing a headline set in order to recognise the anniversary of the Sex Pistols shows. During the concert Pete Shelley held up the poster seen in this lot in order to illustrate a point about having performed there (the FTH) two years earlier with the Sex Pistols. Later, as the vendor was waiting to obtain signatures from members of Buzzcocks, he noticed the folded poster lying discarded on the floor. Also included in this sale is an original card ticket/handbill with signatures from Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle as well as Dave Formula of Magazine to the reverse (flyer measured 15.6 x 21.5cm). The vendor has also tracked down an image of Pete Shelley holding the poster during the concert and has printed a copy to include with the poster.
