The record became one of the rarest in the United Kingdom.
A rare vinyl single of "God Save The Queen" by the Sex Pistols sold for nearly $15,000, approximately R$50,000, on Discogs, becoming one of the most expensive sales of 2017 on the site.
Discogs, a website that provides database information about records, sold the seven-inch record for $14,690, placing it on their list of the 30 most expensive records they've ever sold.
The rarity of the record is due to the fact that before the band released the studio album Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols in October 1977, A&M Records released some copies of the single "God Save The Queen" in March of that year. It is almost impossible to find one of these singles for sale today, hence the incredibly high price.
The British newspaper The Guardian listed the single as one of the rarest records in the UK. According to unconfirmed information, A&M released only 25,000 copies of the record in 1977. Soon after, the label's founder, Herb Alpert, cancelled the contract with the Sex Pistols, which led the band to sign with Virgin, the label that released the album Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols.
