SEX PISTOLS WALL ART GIANT 3D PIN BADGE GOD SAVE THE SEX PISTOLS

This extra large limited edition pin badge is the work of Tony Dennis of Tape Deck Art. Part of a collection of oversized badges which are intended to be wall hung, the designs are taken from actual pins from the 1970s and 1980s which were collected by the self-taught British artist.

Age marks have been added to some of the designs to make the badges look more authentic. Colour disfiguration and rust marks add to the look of badges that have been well loved and well worn for many years.

About the Artwork

God Save the Queen is a song by the English punk rock band the Sex Pistols. It was released as the band's second single and was later included on their only studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. The song was released during Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee in 1977. The original title for the song was No Future, with the lyrics themselves being a general expression of the band's view of the monarchy or any individual or establishment commanding general obligation.

Released in 2017, God Save Sex Pistols is made up of the original tracklisting for the album before it became Never Mind The Bollocks, with slightly different version of tracks and completely different artwork.
