Bits from ads and interviews. The not-too-carefully-crafted selling of the Pistols image worldwide. Essential in understanding punk, the pogo (dance), and punk's divergence into speed-metal, hardcore and thrash. The Sex Pistols WERE the turning point in punk-rock.
The Who told us we were pissed off, The Sex Pistols told us who to gob at.

I ordered this item and the company gladly took my $10 and never sent the CD, then refused to refund my money. Thieves! Amazon forced me to give them one star; why can't we have zero stars or even negative stars - they earned 2!

Features a number of interviews from various sources.Many with American radio stations.You really saw what a joke they made of American radio,industry and people who phoned in to talk.They were always opposed to stooping to making appearances for radio,record stores and the like not to mention press interviews.A interesting record I bought when this came out,it deserves a cd release.Just a shame the band ended up with a screwed up manager and bassist in the end and they never recovered.Read the excellant book by Noel Monk,their U.S. road manager chronicling their 12 date final tour in the States called '12 days on the road : sex pistols and america'. it also has lots of rare pics.get it on here while you can.

Edited by John Varnow, the 1979 album is dialogue from media interviews with John Lydon, Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Sid Vicious and radio advertisements, with the first track being a montage from a variety of sources.

It had surprising success on the UK album chart - peaking at #6 - and ranges from amusing (Cook and Jones during a radio interview) to tedious (Lydon rambling on about a number of subjects). The Jamie Reid artwork - in not-too-subtle fashion - captures the pop culture myths surrounding the band, but this product is only for those who are seeking every "official" release from the iconic punk rockers.

This is an interview-complication of the Sex Pistol members, taken from radio/TV-shows, 1976-78! One of the highlights is the Bill-Grundy show, from 1976, but unfortunatly; The hole thing is not there!!! Sid and Johnny comes up with some outstanding comments during the interviews, and the hole thing is very funny and interresting! For Mr. Joe Public: Keep away (or get offended), and for the fake-pretend-punks: Spend some bucks!!
