Masterminded by the great MALCOLM McLAREN, and produced by Chris Thomas, this is the definitive punk record. Album cover is still in its original shrink-wrap. Vinyl is near-mint. Also has original printed inner sleeve.
Robert Christgau's 1977 review: Get this straight: no matter what the chicmongers want to believe, to call this band dangerous is more than a suave existentialist compliment. They mean no good. It won't do to pass off Rotten's hatred and disgust as role-playing--the gusto of the performance is too convincing. Which is why this is such an impressive record. The forbidden ideas from which Rotten makes songs take on undeniable truth value, whether one is sympathetic ("Holidays in the Sun" is a hysterically frightening vision of global economics) or filled with loathing ("Bodies," an indictment from which Rotten doesn't altogether exclude himself, is effectively anti-abortion, anti-woman, and anti-sex). These ideas must be dealt with, and can be expected to affect the way fans think and behave. The chief limitation on their power is the music, which can get heavy occasionally, but the only real question is how many American kids might feel the way Rotten does, and where he and they will go next. I wonder--but I also worry. A
THE essential piece of vinyl for your collection! Near Mint condition. Cover is excellent also, which you can see in the photos. Makes a great Flag Day gift for that special someone!!
