Description
"Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" is the only studio album by the English punk rock band the Sex Pistols, released on 28 October 1977 by Virgin Records. The album has influenced many bands and musicians, and the industry in general. It is frequently listed as the most influential punk album, and one of the most important albums of all time. By the time of its release, the Sex Pistols were controversial, having sworn on live TV, been fired from two record labels, and been banned from playing live in some parts of England. The album title added to that controversy, with some people finding the word "bollocks" offensive. Many record stores refused to carry it and some record charts refused to list its title, showing just a blank space instead. Due in part to its notoriety, and in spite of many sales bans at major retailers, the album debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Charts. It went gold only a few weeks later, on 17 November. It remained a best-seller for over a year, spending 60 weeks in the Top 25. This is the 1985 UK Vinyl Re-issue on the Virgin Records label. The catalog # on the spine is: OVED 136. The cover is graded by Goldmine standards as EX due to a crease on the front, lower right cover. The record is visually graded as NEAR MINT. Labels look new. This release is a "in between" release. On the back cover there is "Belsen Was a Gas" and "Liar" listed twice. "Belsen" and no second version of "Liar" is on the album. It is a misprint. As a bonus, I am including the UK Tell Tales (Limited Edition / #2401) Interview Picture Disc of the Sex Pistols released in February 1988. The interview actually took place in 1977. The picture disc is in NEAR MINT condition. Records will be shipped following business day as soon as payment is received. Media Mail ($4) WILL TAKE AT LEAST 3 TO 5 WEEKS DUE TO BEING SHIPPED BY BOAT, NOT AIR, from Hawaii. Priority Mail is $16 from Hawaii.
