who may conceivably be possessed by genius.”  Following on from the conference, ‘Naked Lunch’ stirred up the longest running correspondence in the Times Literary Supplement as critics and public ranted, raved and did everything but agree on the values and qualities of the work.  The critical controversy, however, has established Naked Lunch as a seminal post-war work that must be continually read and re-evaluated regardless of the personal tastes of individual critics. A very good plus example of this important document.  Approx. 140 pages printed on rectos only.  Scarce we have only ever seen one other example and that was incomplete. £450

John was fucked with flu, Sid was fucked with drugs, and Cook and Jones were fucked with Sid and John.  Lydon eventually walked out on the others the following day, after trying in vain to get Jones to dump McLaren, and was left in San Francisco with no money, Sid went to New York and embarked on a solo career managed by Nancy Spungen, and Mclaren, Jones and Cook went to Brazil to meet train robber, Ronnie Biggs.  This set of riders thus represent the last official signatures of the Sex Pistols.  A magnificent piece of punk history.  £5500
