SEX PISTOLS - NO ONE IS INNOCENT - FRENCH MISPRINT IMPORT 7".

The first single to appear from McLaren's master scam The Great Rock n Roll Swindle bearing the Sex Pistols name, Malcolm's idea to use a former Great Train Robber as the Sex Pistols new front man was never going to fool anyone, Biggs was in exile in Brazil so was never going to be anything other than a guest vocalist at best, the idea was a non starter and ended as quickly as it began.

Originally issued as a double A sided single McLaren insisted that the other track was My Way, Sid Vicious sticking his biker boots into the teeth of the Sinatra standard, starting off slow in a mockery of the original before ending with the signature Sid Vicious Sneer and a two fingered salute.

The single did well and was issued as NO ONE IS INNOCENT - McLaren pushed for it to be called COSH THE DRIVER, to give the record some shock value but in the end Virgin bottled it, McLaren however eventually got his way when the 7" was issued in France on his dodgy Glitterbest label.

This is an original copy of that very Glitterbest single, the French however made a mistake and printed 'BRIGGS' on the record label and not BIGGS. (see photos)

This 7" release was issued in a full colour cardboard sleeve, with My Way promoted to the A.Side maybe in the faint hope of getting some kind of radio play despite the swearing.?

This also has a 'MUMMY WHAT IS A SEX PISTOL ?' Sticker added to the top right of the sleeve, I'm not attempting to remove this as these cardboard sleeves rip easy and I think it looks kinda cool anyway.

Overall this has remained in decent condition, some slight wear and light surface creases to the sleeve but no splits, the vinyl looks great with the odd very light hairline but it remains in great condition overall.

Don't forget to check out my other punk and Sex Pistols listings for more great items, lots more to list in the coming months so keep checking my listings.

Very good overall condition is this one, check out the photos.
