Sex Pistols

Live In The U.S.A 1978 - San Francisco

    40 plus years on the Sex Pistols’ output from their original creative period together, forged amidst times of poor leadership and economic turmoil, continues to resonate in ways most could never have imagined. Not least those Stateside who witnessed the performances that make up this release.

    A document of the last days of the band left to run adrift by absent management on a label that didn’t really understand, in a country that arguably felt more threatened than it did excited by the prospect of the group. Vital, primal and compelling are all words that can be used to describe the audio here. Until their return as a live entity in 1996, everything that followed their short, fateful tour of America in January 1978 was simply a parody of what had been. With concerts finally released in full and correctly sequenced for the very first time – Live In the USA 1978 takes us back to the moment the creative force that was Sex Pistols imploded.

    On January 14th 1978 the Sex Pistols ended their fateful US tour at the Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco. The set list included ‘God Save The Queen’, ‘Pretty Vacant’, ‘Holidays In The Sun’ and ‘Anarchy In The UK’. The raw production captures the essence of a live experience, giving listeners a powerful snapshot of a significant moment in punk history. Limited edition blue vinyl.

          Sex Pistols

          Holidays In The Sun - Yellow Vinyl Edition

            Sex Pistols have made their 4th single available in coloured vinyl for the first time, another limited edition classic.

            Further establishing their legendary status, the band's 4th single ‘Holidays In The Sun’, released on October, 14, 1977, climbed the charts to #8 and was the single used to promote their studio album, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols.

            Sex Pistols

            The Original Recordings

              For the first time in over a decade, 20 of the Sex Pistol’s recordings from 1976 to 1978 are collected together to tell the story of one of the world’s most influential and extraordinary bands.

              The tracks here cover the entire initial period of the band’s recording career – from Anarchy in The UK, through Never Mind The Bollocks to the post John Lydon Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle soundtrack featuring early demos, cover versions and more.

              The compilation is completed by some essential B- sides – I Wanna Be Me (the flipside of Anarchy…), ‘Satellite’ (the b-side of ‘Holidays In The Sun’) and Did You No Wrong (from ‘God Save The Queen’).

              Sex Pistols

              76-77

                If at first you don’t succeed, try again…

                Sex Pistols 76/77, features no less than 80 alternate versions of tracks recorded between May 1976 and Sept 1977 that would help form the legendary album NMTB’s. This set includes 8 previously unreleased versions and 30 tracks available for the first time digitally.

                Background:

                The Sex Pistols as we know them, John, Paul, Steve and Glen, got together in the summer of 1975. It would be some 10 months before they first ventured into a recording studio with Chris Spedding, on May 15th 1976 at Majestic in London. Later that July they’d record first at Decibel and then at Riverside with Dave Goodman and subsequently at Landsdown and Wessex later that October. All these early recording sessions are included here, giving listeners the opportunity to hear just how the songs and the band’s sound evolved from the start.

                During this period the band signed to EMI and also undertook sessions at their Manchester Square studio. Again these recordings are included on this set.

                After issuing Anarchy In The UK, the adverse publicity around it and the band’s TV appearance (in place of Queen) on Bill Grundy’s ITV show on Dec 1st 1976, EMI would drop them on Jan 6th1977. The band kept the record company advance of £40K and promptly got together again with Dave Goodman at Eden and Gooseberry studios and carried on recording. Glen would depart in February and be replaced by Sid Vicious.

                They then signed to A&M on March 9th (£150K), re-staging the signing outside Buckingham Palace the following day for the press. A&M quickly began pressing the single God Save The Queen for a March 25th release. 25K units were created but on release day A&M announced they’d pulled the single and dropped the band and would destroy the records. Meanwhile the band kept £75K in compensation and recording sessions continued.

                Friday the 13th…..lucky for some? On Friday May 13 they signed to Virgin records and would continue recording right up until Sept 1977, with NMTB’s being released the following month.

                76/77 shows just how NMTB’s came to be. There was no luck, instead inspiration, creativity and hard graft.

                Sex Pistols

                Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols - Back To Black Vinyl Edition

                  As one of the most iconic and influential albums in music history ‘Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols’ still sounds as powerful and unique as ever, 37 years since the original release.

                  The Sex Pistols defined a generation and captured a feeling within the nation that simply no one else could of. The band created a truly distinctive sound and ‘Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols’ impact and influence still strongly resonates with musicians, artists and people to this day.

                  This release has used the original master tapes from the 1977 recording sessions thought to be lost for many years. Now thankfully rediscovered, the tapes have been remastered, for the very first time, by Tim Young under direction from original producer Chris Thomas.

                  Sex Pistols - NMTB is now released on 180g heavyweight vinyl as part of the Back To Black series.
