After failing to secure a sale on eBay, Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McClaren’s son Joe Corré has burnt the first relic from his £5m punk collection.

Corré was subjected to criticism for his plans to burn the entire assortment of punk artifacts, Corré added his original acetate of Sex Pistols’ “Anarchy in the UK” to eBay to raise money for charity.

The bidding, which began at £6,000 reached £62,500 on last week (November 17), though it failed to reach its reserve of £1,000,000. The acetate and an additional turntable were set fire by Corré on Tuesday (November 22): a kind of ‘taster’ for what’s to come.
