You can always trust THE LOOK readers to come up with the goods.

A couple of days ago we published some of the individual images which appeared on Mark Ogilvie’s rare Swedish Sex Pistols poster.

 

//Mark’s poster – note missing image far right// 

As Mark has explained, he clipped one of the nine photos for a home-made badge. Not only did that go missing, but Mark couldn’t recall the photograph at all. 

 

//Johnny Rotten, September 1976. Photo: Wolfgang Heilemann//  

So we put a call out and THE LOOK fan Dai Ando from Japan has come up trumps. Here is the missing image in all it’s glory: a close up by the photographer Wolfgang “Bubi” Heilemann of Johnny Rotten in full flight, teeth bared, Peter Pan shirt collar turned up, studded wristband to the fore.

Thanks to Mark and Dai for enabling us to present this long-lost artefact in it’s entirety for the first time online. Nice work chaps.

Anyone else think that Steve Jones looks scarily Noel Gallagher-esque in this picture?

He does a bit – but I think it looks great.
If you look at all of em they’ve gott he grown out mod/French/Ceasar crop – though JR has as usual tinkered with his.
In Wobble’s new book – a must-buy imho – he talks about the four Johns ( himself, JR, John Gray and John Beverley) – trekking down to Keith at Smile to all have haircuts…maybe twas Keith who did these?
