One for the completists or punk lovers, thirty years on the Sex Pistols key releases are getting the reissue treatment.
Re-creating all the original artwork from the first editions, and housed in unfinished heavy-weight paper sleeves, the 4 classic singles from the album 'Never Mind The Bollocks' will be released once a week through October in limited edition form.
Jamie Reid's artwork has become arguably as legendary as the music, and these limited edition vinyl sleeves will feature the 100% black 'Anarchy In The UK' paper sleeve, the iconic Queen's head of 'God Save The Queen', the smashed picture frame of 'Pretty Vacant' and the lyrical cartoon strip of 'Holidays In The Sun'.
The series of re-issues will culminate in the release of 'Never Mind The Bollocks.Here's The Sex Pistols' in heavy weight vinyl with a 7" insert of 'Submission' and poster - just as the album was originally released on October 28 1977.
This format came about when the original vinyl album was released a week earlier than planned due to French imports, and 'Submission' was missed off. The band insisted that the track be included, so the first 50,000 copies came with a one sided 7".
The October release dates are:
01 – 'Anarchy In The UK' 7"
08 – 'God Save The Queen' 7"
15 – 'Pretty Vacant' 7"
22 – 'Holidays In The Sun' 7"
29 – 'Never Mind The Bollocks' 12" LP + 'Submission' 7" + poster
