PRESS CUTTINGS
SID VICIOUS DEAD 2nd FEBRUARY 1979
from the archive of Gavin Walsh
Los Angeles Herald Examiner 2nd February 1979
Both Sid & Nancy made the cover upon his death of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner.
What makes this unique is the date ... it is from the SAME day Sid died - i.e. Feb 2nd.
What enabled this to happen were two things :
1. The newspaper ran a second edition,ostensibly for things that happened whilst the first one was in print/hitting the streets
2. The West Coast is three hours behind the East Coast (where Sid died).
Also worth noting, Sid made the cover of the 'tabloids' (both UK & US) the following day, however the Los Angeles Herald Examiner was a main-stream respectable
broad-sheet (full-sized newspaper), so for Sid to have made the cover was pretty remarkable.
