A rare and visually powerful edition, Destroy is the Japanese release of Denis Morris’ explosive photographic archive of the Sex Pistols an ephemeral but seismic group born in 1976 under the provocation of Malcolm McLaren.
Through raw, unfiltered imagery, Morris documents the Pistols not just onstage or on tour, but in stolen moments of intimacy, rebellion, and vulnerability. His lens doesn’t stop at the band: it turns toward the crowd, the fans, the chaos. This is not just a music book it’s a time capsule of cultural combustion.
Published in Japan in 2002 by Rockin’on Editions, this first edition is an object of beauty and subcultural importance, printed with high production values and a distinctly Japanese editorial sensibility. It’s a testament to punk’s global reach and its local, fanatical echoes.
Highly recommended for collectors of punk archives, Japanese pressings, and the visual mythology of the Sex Pistols.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
