Rochdale Observer Saturday 24th December 77: Rock Group Tells Council: 'Keep £1,200 fee'
"Mr David John, the town’s Arts and Entertainment Director, said yesterday:
“This maligned group can act in a gentlemanly manner. They have not held the borough to the contract entered into.
The Sex Pistols’ management has actually thanked our officers for our attempts to present them, apologised for the
difficulties caused and has freed the authority from its obligation to pay the £1,200 they could have demanded." ”

Rochdale Observer Saturday 24th December 77: Readers' Letters
"Some edlers may react hysterically, but not because they do not understand – rather,
it is because they understand so well how quickly indiscipline can lead to anarchy.”
"Today my freedom of choice has been destroyed."
" I find it morally abhorrent that this group can get richer through the suffering of others."
