Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks… Here’s The Sex Pistols (Vinyl)

30th anniversary of dog’s bollocks pressing

To many in Britain 30 years ago, at the time this seminal album was released, the Sex Pistols weren’t just punk, they were bloody scary too. Lead singer Johnny Rotten was the target for the country’s hatred and, on this album, his bitterness, aural violence and continual caustic attacks cover you in metaphorical saliva. Never Mind The Bollocks… didn’t just shock the public, it shocked the music business as well. Ironically, it’s the same business which is celebrating the LP’s 30th anniversary with a fully loaded reissue of the rarest edition of the LP. Yes, this comes with the Jamie Reid poster and one-sided Submission 7”, which was in a limited amount of copies of the original LP. Anarchy, now transmuted into capitalistic glorification. Perhaps the most punk thing you could do would be not buy it at all.
