Sex Pistols

Portion used

The entire front page is reproduced in order to faithfully represent both the design of the newspaper and the relative weight given to the headline and the image of the Sex Pistols.

Low resolution?

The image has been reproduced at low resolution and could not be used in such a way as to reduce the copyright owner's commercial interests in the image.

Purpose of use

The image is used to illustrate how the notorious incident described on the front page—an appearance by the Sex Pistols on a TV talk show—was covered in the news media and to explicate the fame of this specific headline, as described in the article. Use of the newspaper image in this fashion illustrates the band's, the incident's and the headline's cultural position in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

As a newspaper front page, there is no free equivalent available or possible as a replacement.
