5.0 out of 5 stars If you've got "Never Mind The Bollocks"..., February 15, 2002

OK, if you've got that great album "NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS", there's the only thing left to be done - buy this album. Just because their next album "The Great R'n'R Swindle" turned out to be disappointing, but it had a few real good tracks (contributed by Sid Vicious), which all are included here.

This is a collection of all the Pistols' singles from 1976 to 1979, so besides the tracks from "The Swindle" (and "Never Mind..."), there is a great deal of famous tracks omitted from "Never Mind...": "No Fun", "I Wanna Be Me", "Did You No Wrong", "Steppin' Stone" and "Anarchy In The UK" - in its raw original version. You wouuld be enough satisfied.

[This collection originally was released in 1979 in the U.K.]

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for any true fan!, June 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Flogging a Dead Horse (Audio CD)

Though this doesn't have the attitude and fury of "Never Mind The Bollocks", it is essential for any hardcore fan of the Sex Pistols. Mostly a collection of covers, "Flogging A Dead Horse" is definitely memorable and fun to listen to. What's most reassuring is that it's not all "Bollocks" rehash, like so many other Pistols albums. The most memorable performances are Sid Vicious' heartfelt and furious butchering of Frank Sinatra's "My Way", and the Monkees' "Stepping Stone (I'm Not Your)", and among the worst are "Something Else" and "No Fun". I only gave this four stars because it is mostly non-Pistols material, yet it still rocks out like the Pistols should. This album shows the inspirations of the Sex Pistols' rage filled punk anthems, and gives insight into their musical backgrounds. Though not their best, it is recomended for the true fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one you've been looking for!, March 2, 2000

Hey. Hey! HEY! Listen up now people - if you've been looking for a Pistols album and you already have Bollocks than this is the one for you. This one shines amidst the flurry of sound-alike compilations and so-called bootlegs. The first half has their essential tunes from Bollocks mingled with the more rare songs like the awesome I Wanna Be Me and the classic Did U No Wrong. The second half is what sets this apart from the other discs of the genre. Sid's incomprable My Way is included along with groove of Somethin' Else that was featured in Sid & Nancy but didn't make it onto the soundtrack. Tack on Swindle, No One Is Innocent, and a few other gems and you've got the best offering released under the Pistols name since they disintegrated after the 'Frisco show in '78. If you only own one Pistols album then you better go back, scroll up, and click on Never Mind the Bollocks. But if you're in the market for two then get to Floggin'!
