DIGITAL PRINTS

Looking for something to fill your warehouse wallspace? Look no further!

We are curently exhibiting an enormous digital print of the Sex Pistols taken by photographer Paul Terence Madden at the Nashville Rooms on April 3rd 1976.

The print below is brand new and priced at £1,500. The canvas is stretched on gallery quality 'John Jones' fine art stretcher bars - arguably the best in the world.

The size of the assembled print is 180cm by 240cm. The work breaks down quite easily if you wish to transport it.

The print is stapled on the back and once the staples are removed from the bars the print rolls to a length of about 260cm.

The stretcher bars pull apart by hand (no screws or nails are used) and can be carried quite easily.

There are two vertical support bars and one horizontal - creating a stretcher with six 'windows'.

All you need is a staple gun to put the print back together.

The price includes delivery and assembly to the West End, City or North London. other places by quotation.

Paul was present at the fist Sex Pistols gig on November 6th 1975 and also witnessed the band support Eddie and The Hot Rods at the Marquee Club in February 1976.

"There was no internet in those days and the band didnt advertise in Melody Maker so after the Marquee gig I went to Sex every afternoon to find out when the next gigs were."

"I was the only person actually in the audience area although several people connected to the band were at the bar."

"Although I was on first name terms with the band and also Maclaren - he knew that I knew he'd managed the Dolls so he must of thought I was ok - but by this point I wasn't really that welcome as I had shoulder length hair."

"So a split second after I had taken this shot Rotten looked at me and whined 'Hallo Paul... YOU'RE MY PROBLEM' which induced in me a fit of suppressed giggles and then terror at the thought of what to do next."

"I decided he wasn't going to attack me and kept on taking photos. Theres a terrific shot on the end of the roll where he looks completely fucked and he is STILL giving me the stare. I loved it! It was deadly exciting but I could never work out why I was laughing so much inside."

"The irony for me was that I'd already had my hair cut Pistol short a year previously but hadnt got round to repeating the experience. Also, I thought - dont tell me what to do you punk!"

"I spent the whole of 1976 teling people to come with me and see the band but most people would say that they didnt like the name."

"When Grundy happened they all pounced on me and apologised and begged me to take them to see the next big thing."

"I took twenty people to the Red Cow to see AC/DC's debut London gig. They still thank me for it! I should have been an A&R man but I had no idea there was a job where they paid you to go out and have a good time."

"I think there might have been eight people watching the Sex Pistols support the 101ers. The gig was quite important for it was the first time Joe Strummer had seen the Sex Pistols and this gig was repeated the next week where Mick Jones and Paul Simonon approached Strummer and asked him to be the singer in the Clash."

"Given the ferocity of the Pistols performances at that time he must of thought himself quite lucky to be considered suitable material by the all-ready legendary Mick Jones"

The print is an industrial strength VUTEK print printed using heavy duty inks onto strong canvas.

This process is used to create advertising images that are attached to office blocks and are built to handle all weather conditions for long periods of time.

Needless to say if kept out of direct sunlight (like all fine art prints should be) it will probably last more than a lifetime.
