Today it was announced that
Jamie Reid, artist of the Sex Pistols record covers and their anarchic graphical style has died, aged 76. Very sad news for his family and friends.
It reminded me of this souvenir concert programme that we supplied the paper for back in the nineties. In those days we supplied paper to a printer called Lithosphere who did many concert programmes for the Mean Fiddler group, one of which was for the Sex Pistols and their 'Filthy Lucre Tour' in June 1996 and their show in Finsbury Park.
Size of this souvenir programme is 320 x 245mm portrait with a 4pp cover and 16pp text and is saddle stitched.
The programme was printed on our Lightning Silk 240gsm cover and 135gsm text and I believe it was printed CMYK plus a Fluorescent special (pink).
Although the catalogue was not designed by Jamie Reid, it certainly used the style he created for the band and his imagery. It was designed by Simon Collett and printed offset litho by Lithosphere.
