Jamie Reid 🇬🇧 Sex Pistols • God Save the Queen • Collage

[pezlow]

It could be argued that the height of Reid's notoriety was at the time of the Never Mind the Bollocks album release. Despite this he is still popular nearly 30 years later so I would agree with JJ (what happened to the rest of your name!) that he is a fairly safe bet. It is unlikely that you will ever see the astronomic rises in the value of his work though.

I'd agree - certainly not in the short to middle term anyway. Though Jamie's 70s and 80s originals are now fetching very tidy sums indeed.

It's also worth noting that much of Jamie's primary fan base, i.e., those heavily into the punk scene when it was at it's height, have turned to more traditional establishment careers and can now afford to spend money on his art.

Plus the punk aesthetic has made a huge resurgence in recent years.

I'd be interested to hear Romanywg's thoughts on the subject. He was obviously very much involved in the scene.

JAMIE REID thats the man that got me into this mess!!! COLLECTING BLOODY PRINTS , but i do love it !!!!!!

[romanywg]

If youre friend wants really cheap Reid, nowhere better than A.M.U.T.I. (owned by his dealers, The Aquarium.) They sell rare, out of date and reject Reids. I have picked up unique Printers Proofs for less than £50. Swastika eyes being one of them.
Give Laurence a ring on 020 7387 8417 and he'll let you know exactly what he has in stock.
JJ you pretty much summed it up. I never was an actual fan of his work at the time but it has grown on me recently.

Picked up this little baby, a play on Jamies Lies Lies Lies, but its bloody excellent and so true.

Its Tong's new 12" single.



Hoping to get the pair of them to sign it over the next few months (thats Reid and Tong, not Bush and Blair!!!)

IMO this would make a cracking print.

anybody else get fed up with sooooooooo...many political statements in contemporary/modern art? just the way it feels at the moment

[goffy]

People feel the need to express how they feel about this totally unjustified I-raq war. But I know what you mean.

Any Pistol fans out there!

Just thought I would bring these to your attention, 4 extremely limited edition canvas editions of the God Save The Queen flag and Anarchy In The UK!

This is the first official collaboration between Reid and the Pistols for ten years (Since the Artificial print run) It is also the first time the Anarchy flag has been reproduced in a limited run format. Whilst Reid owns the rights to the Safety pin Queen image he isn't able to use the Pistols name without permission, hence the releases over the past few years without the band's name.

I have already picked mine up and I am reliably informed that they are selling out fast with the band members themselves having sets of them!

Prices are around the 2k mark per canvas, which seems pretty good to me considering you would have to pay around £1200 for a Red, White and Blue Artificial Queen and that was an edition of 350.

Anyway, love these and thought I would share with you!!

Very cool, I likes them I do...

[jonpud]

Forgot to mention, Eddie is in LA this week with the Pistols, doing sound checks etc ready for the up and coming gigs, so if you do email him to reserve one please don't be surprised if you don't get an answer till next week!

ps I am sure that if you mention you are a forum member he will look kindly at the selling price!?

100 Club yes great place. I saw Roddy Radiation from the Specials get his guitar out on stage here last year and sing Gangsters at a gig with other ska people. Its so small he walked off stage and went to the gents then came back and I put my arm round him and said great tune mate and he started to chat ! I said err arent you supposed to be on stage mate!!! he said oh yeah and wandered back on clearly the worse for wear, he sort of forgot he was in the middle of a gig, brilliant

i've got an original 1977 poster signed/numbered by Jamie Reid (ltd.Edition of 50) Sex Pistols NMTB - I've had it framed but when the posters were stored they were obviously folded and not tightly rolled. As my framer has float mounted it the creases are visible. He tells me that the only way to avoid this is to dry mount it. Your opinons please!

Thanks Mike!

Doesn't look too bad from the piccie. I am no expert on such things but would recommend you gt in touch with Mr Frameman. He will be able to give a respected second opinion. It does suit the frame v nicely ;D
