2.0 out of 5 stars No, This One`s For The Collector-Fans Only!, September 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pirates of Destiny (Audio CD)

I am a huge Sex Pistols fan, myself, and I am sad to say that this is one of the worst complications I`ve ever heard with them , except for the awful Live-Albums... The sound-quality is so poor, that I don`t know how you can ever mix this sound into a Long-Play-CD... For new listeners; Keep away from this... And the "Karaoke-Track" is not an original thing: They have just cut off Johnny Rotten`s voice! This is Swindle For All The Money!!! (And from what Bootleg is the Sweden-Tour taken from???)

2.0 out of 5 stars Ephemera for serious Sex Pistols fanatics only., September 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pirates of Destiny (Audio CD)

The 22 tracks (45+ minutes) are a very uneven assortment of outtakes, interviews, some live material, etc. The Australian TV advertisement and some of the interviews can best be classified as throwaways. Most of the tracks are familiar with only one or two obscure tracks: Schools are Prisons; Watcha Gonna Do About It. For you karaoke fans, track eight is the backing track (no vocals) for Pretty Vacant. The packaging is low budget as well, with scant liner notes. To sum it up, the warning on the back says it all: Caveat Emptor - Let the Buyer Beware! Recording quality is suspect.Castle Communications could have done a much better job with this one. With a little more effort they could have ensured that whoever bought this CD doesn't immediately feel as if they have been fleeced. The Swindle continues.

2.0 out of 5 stars NB: There's still a good reason to buy this..., May 9, 2002

And that is the song "Schools Are Prisons," which disproves once and for all one of rock's biggest myths: That the Sex Pistols couldn't play their instruments (In truth, they just didn't try to). There's something (very) vaguely Stooges about this song, and you can clearly see Public Image Ltd. in it as well. The rest is pretty horrible. If you REALLY want demos, live performnaces, etc. wait for the Boxset to come out in... uh... June, is it? Too bad it doesn't have "Schools..."
