Jamie Reid: Cutie Jones

Jamie Reid: Cutie JonesCelebrating 50 years of Peacock this is a reproduction of the original artwork design for The Sex Pistols by Jamie Reid. Originally made by Jamie in Peacock on a visit to the studio in the 1970's this image was the first ever image produced by Jamie for the band. It was never used as a final poster but still remains an important part of their history. The title comes from the fact that at that point they were called "Cutie Jones and his Sex Pistols",
