3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad collection., August 21, 2002

This is a decent collection of their work, with the obligitory "God save the queen" and "Anarchy in the U.K.", but there are no real surprises. A nice addition was "EMI", but I have to cry foul for the omission of "Liar". Why leave that out and put the live (much newer version) of "Pretty vacant" on a greatest hits? had "Liar" been on the collection, I would have rated it 4 stars. Bonus points are awarded for "Friggin in the riggin" and "Rock and roll swindle", although I'm a bit of a purist, if Johnny Rotten isn't singing, it isn't the Pistols, but that's just me.

All said, if you are a huge Pistols fan, you probably won't be happy with this, chiefly because you can get most of the songs on other CD's (which you probably already own). If you have never owned a Sex Pistols CD, this wouldn't be a bad start, but you may want to look around for a cheaper version of this, unless you like the "import" stamp on your cd case.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sex Pistols - 'Jubilee: The Best Of.....' (EMI) 3 1/2 stars, April 16, 2007

Good fourteen track release that would not only be like icing on the cake for the completists, but serve as a good introduction to any new and younger fans out there. Essentials like "God Save The Queen", "Anarchy In The UK" and my personal Pistols favorite "Pretty Vacant" are here with several good cuts that either I haven't heard before or I simply don't remember, like "Frigging In The Rigging" and "C'mon Everybody". A nice pick.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Introduction, January 31, 2006

By

This review is from: Jubilee: The Best of (Audio CD)

This was the first Pistols album that I owened, and it was a bloody good introduction to the band. If the shop had 'Never Mind The Bollocks' I would have bought that, but in a way I'm glad they didnt.

You see, most of the reviews on here say that the majority of the post-Rotten Pistols is bad, I however like most of it, and I probably wouldnt have bothered to look into it if I hadnt heard it on this disc, well at least not for a while anyway.

The only real problem with this is that it includes 'Pretty Vacant' twice. I think they should have supplemented the non-live track for something else, I would have prefered something not on 'Never Mind The Bollocks', because if you consider youself a Pistols fan, you have to own that album, and the less doubling up possible the better.

A good thing is that it ends strong, with a good, catchy Rotten song, 'EMI'. Also 'Friggin in the Riggin' is a good inclusion, as well as 'Silly Thing' with Paul Cook on vocals (Steve sings on the Swindle). The booklet included is fairly helpfull although some of the information in it is incorrect.

All in all, quite a good cd, not as good as 'Never Mind The Bollcoks', but not bad at all. I do not believe the Sex Pistols, with John, ever recorded a bad song, and the best of the post-Rotten songs are included here as well. There is not a bad song on here. This is probably the most usefull compilation of the Sex Pistols I've seen, as it spans their entire career.

Theyre not trying to hide anything here.
