SEX PISTOLS
Never Mind The Bollocks

UK Import version with Poster and 1 sided Submission Single.  SPOTS 001

This is the most sought after version of this album, and it's still sealed (although just barely).  This comes from my personal collection... I got it right after it came out, even though I already had a copy without the poster. 

Right after the album came out, Virgin created this limited special package of the UK LP (it hadn't come out in the USA yet), along with the 1 sided single of Submission (they later added it to the actual LP, but the first pressings didn't include it), and to top it off, they threw in a copy of the promotional poster.  My guess is that they had a bunch of the posters sitting around and decided to make some extra cash off of them. 

The bootleg reissue of this goes for a couple hundred bucks, but this one is the real deal, and yes, it is still in the shrink wrap. 

Unfortunately, the shrink when I bought it was a bit torn, and it's a rigid kind of shrink wrap.  While it's never been opened, just a little more handling of it will probably end up 'unsealing' the album.  The front shrink is mostly intact, but the back is a bit tattered.  You can see in the pictures that it is coming off in places.  If you buy it and want to keep it sealed, handle with care!  I have it inside 2 plastic sleeves for safety and to prevent further damage to the wrap.  Along with the EMI God Save The Queen, this is the Sex Pistols record that everyone wants and I've seen them go for over $1,700.00 here on ebay unsealed. 

Here's some additional info I grabbed from a fan site (since the lp is sealed, I had to get the info elsewhere):

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols (Virgin V 2086) (SPOTS 001)
Released 28th October 1977
Notes.11 track pressing. Tracks are in different order to 12 track pressings.
Submission missing from rear sleeve and LP.
Production credits: Chris Thomas and Bill Price.
EMI correctly credited to Matlock.
Timing on tracks.
Issued with one sided Submission 7" single (VDJ 24).
SPOTS 001 refers to the package (LP, shrink wrap, sticker, 7" single, and NMTB poster available only with this edition of the album).

This package is tough to find, and even harder with the shrink wrap still on it.  Another copy may not show up for years.  Bid now before you lose your chance to own the real, original version.

I've been on Ebay for over 15 years and have a 100% positive rating!

For over 20 years, Venus Records was one of the top collector's stores in Greenwich Village, if not the world.  I closed it down in 1999 and kept most of the stock in storage and have just recently started selling it off.  During that time, I didn't really list much on here.  There are still a lot of great items to come, so, you may want to put us on your watch list.  I'm mostly getting out of the music business and doing online marketing and helping business owners with their strategies, but plan on keeping my good reputation in the music business intact.  I started with music mail order in 1976, and now am back to doing mail order again.  If you ever have a problem, contact me.
