Johnny Black, Q, October 1995

Early 1977, and following the inevitable bust-up with EMI, the Sex Pistols are about to release 'God Save The Queen' and embark on their shortest tenure of all: a week at the home of The Carpenters and Supertramp, A&M Records. But first, the signing ceremony. Story: Johnny Black.
