Description
The classic 45 that started the punk revolution back at the end of 1976 from UK pioneers The Sex Pistols. Their debut 45 - Anarchy in the UK was only briefly available in Australia prior to being withdrawn suddenly by EMI after the company dropped the group from it's roster, although there was a sudden rush of collectors down to their record stores early in 1977 when the impending withdrawal was announced by local music legend Ian "Molly" Meldrum during his segment on the local "Countdown" music show, which everybody in Australia watched as a matter of necessity without fail back then. Some music fans scored a copy from their local record shop, some did not, as many shops had already sent their stock back to EMI Australia for destruction (recycling)
There are two variations of this standard EMI pressing - the Usual White/Red EMI label and this unusual black & white label variation.
Detail EMI 11334 The Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the UK" b/s "I Wanna Be Me".
Grading EX+ both sides - no faults at all - a clean, superb copy!!
Comes in original EMI Australian paper sleeve, standard for all 45's from the period. It was never issued in a picture sleeve, as most 45's in Australia were not during the 1970's.
This is a seriously rare, collectable item.
