This envelope was sent from Siren Records in San Francisco, USA, to Glitterbest in London. Glitterbest was the company Malcolm McLaren created to manage the Sex Pistols. The address is interesting because it is headed with "Anarchy in the UK", which, while being the title of a Sex Pistols song, was not the address of McLaren's offices.
