Features only 11 tracks on back sleeve and LP. Song credits include Vicious on Holidays in the sun & Bodies. Also has original Virgin sticker with SPOTS 001. Even have the original purchase sticker from Rotten imports in Brisbane!! This is defintely the best sounding copy of this LP I have heard to date and I'd say I've listened to at least 20 different copies of this album!!    

While mostly accurate, dismissing Never Mind the Bollocks as merely a series of loud, ragged midtempo rockers with a harsh, grating vocalist and not much melody would be a terrible error. Already anthemic songs are rendered positively transcendent by Johnny Rotten's rabid, foaming delivery. His bitterly sarcastic attacks on pretentious affectation and the very foundations of British society were all carried out in the most confrontational, impolite manner possible. Most imitators of the Pistols' angry nihilism missed the point: underneath the shock tactics and theatrical negativity were social critiques carefully designed for maximum impact. Never Mind the Bollocks perfectly articulated the frustration, rage, and dissatisfaction of the British working class with the establishment, a spirit quick to translate itself to strictly rock & roll terms. the Pistols paved the way for countless other bands to make similarly rebellious statements, but arguably none were as daring or effective.

Tracks: Holidays in the sun/ Liar/ No feelings/ God save the queen/ Problems/ Seventeen/ Anarchy in the UK/ Pretty vacant/ New York/ E.M.I. 1sided single : Submission.

There are no signs of spindle marks on labels. A-side label has a small light mark on the left next to Virgin symbol. Record has some light scuff marks that produce a few light crackles. In my opinion one of the best sounding copies I've heard, and I've heard plenty!! Record plays in Near Mint condition. Cover has a few light marks, a light crease mark on bottom left corner and tiny surface tears around edges and is in Excellent condition. 1-sided single has some light scuff marks and is in Excellent condition.
