God Save the Queen

~ Release by Sex Pistols (see all versions of this release, 8 available)

Annotation

7" single on Virgin, rush-released to coincide with Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, after originally being pressed (with a different b-side) by rival company A&M.
Reached number 2 in the pop charts, where it controversially remained, despite many people believing it outsold Rod Stewart's "I Don't Want to Talk About It".
Sleeve features Jamie Reid's iconic design of the Queen with "ransom note" text across it.
