Virgin UK Records VS363 45 rpm single and sleeve for ‘God Save The Queen/Did You No Wrong’ by the Sex Pistols. A benchmark song of the UK’s punk scene, 1977’s controversial ‘God Save The Queen’ raced up the British record charts, going to #1 on the NME (New Musical Express) singles chart. The single peaked at #2 on the official British singles chart, despite being banned on the BBC; the song widely regarded by much of the general public to be an assault on Queen Elizabeth II and the monarchy. Johnny Rotten explained the lyrics as follows: "You don't write a song like 'God Save The Queen' because you hate the English race. You write a song like that because you love them, and you're fed up of seeing them mistreated. His intentions were apparently to evoke sympathy for the English working class, and a general resentment for the monarchy. The phrase ‘no future,’ the song's closing refrain, became emblematic of the punk rock movement. Disc is very fine; sleeve exhibits light ring wear and some scattered light creasing and wrinkling.
