Hasn't anyone else realized that raw, along with a numner of the other cheap "best of's" and "live" albums, that this is the same recording as on the "live at chelmsford prison?" minus the background prison riot noise?

cool set, but i don't need five copies of it with different covers.

Long live the Pistols. Steve Jones, GUITAR HERO!

This record has 1976 demos from Chris Spedding, and "...no lip, child", "new york (dolls)" and "substitute" are live recordings from the 76 period. "No Feeling" is an early demo, which is different from the Spunk session. "Anarchy in the U.K." is a slow, but, heavy demo, and sounds completely different to the "Nevermind The Bollocks- ..." version. Many of the songs can be found on other releases, but the sound quality is excelent.

Not sure if this archive disc is from the soundboard or just a home bootleg tape recording.Either way,it does have a few flaws but in my opinion,it suits it's purpose well.The gig apparently took place somewhere in September 1976.Better cuts are the opener "Anarchy In The UK","I Wanna Be Me",a cover of The Who's "Substitute","No Fun" and "Pretty Vacant".Must admit it's a true privilege to hear a 'real' live vintage audio document of the classic line-up of Rotten/Jones/Matlock/Cook.There are four bonus tracks tagged on,some rather raw-sounding(what else?)demos,including one of "God Save The Queen".This is a budget priced CD,although I believe it's aimed toward collectors and Sex Pistols completists.

sex pistols rule and will always rule. Live cd is good but doesn't have sid so it sounds wierd with bass. all in all a great cd

I will admit the music itself is of good quality and they are an excellent band, but it didn't quite appeal to me. Anarchy in the UK itself is addicting, but not many others hold such 'nicotine'. I gave it a three and my respect for The Sex Pistols in general.

Sometime i wish people would learn about a band before they make a fool of themselfs with a review. This cd emokid12 said sounded wierd without a bass player since sid wasnt on the cd. Glen was a great bass player. the pistols started with glen replaced him with sid then took him back when sid tryed to go solo. sid held the pistols back for he was too messed up most times to play. he only played on 7 songs studio recordings that is. sid couldnt learn the songs due to a drug problem. so to me sid was not a real part of the pistols in the music sence, but he was a huge part of them in the crazy in your face bull they gave people. lets face it sid was nuts, and he would have been here still if it wasnt for that piece of junk nancy
