SEX PISTOLS Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Sex Pistols were a band that excelled in the live area, especially in their reformed form, and live albums such as this are well-treasured. It features an extraordinary performance from the group and comes on multicoloured marble vinyl. This was when the band regrouped in 1996 the six-month Filthy Lucre Tour, the concert in question here being in Chile and was broadcast on the radio - it features the Sex Pistols at their fast and furious best with original bassist Glen Matlock back in place of the aethetically perfect but musically challenged Sid Vicious. Every single disc is utterly unique, with its own hand stamped pattern, making this a real collector's piece.

Review: Anarchy in the UK arriving just in time for the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend, for the first time in more than two decades, 20 of the rawest, roughest and most igniting tracks from the Sex Pistols circa 1976, 1977, and 1978 are collected on one release, reminding everyone of just how potent, original, and uncompromising the outfit were when they exploded onto the scene.

Of course, most of these tunes are going to be very familiar to many people, and that's precisely the reason why we're more than pleased to see them continue to be re-released. Simply put, tracks like 'I Wanna Be More', 'Holidays In The Sun', 'Pretty Vacant' and that version of 'C'Mon Everybody' are stone cold punk classics that arguably have never been bettered. Here they are together again at last. 'God Save the Queen' indeed.
