SEX PISTOLS

Anarchy In The UK/I Wanna Be Me

EMI Records : EMI 2566

Here is a VERY GOOD original copy of The Sex Pistols classic debut single released, on EMI Records and dating from 1976. This copy has the correct production credits, Chris Thomas A-side and Dave Goodman B-side, and comes in the original EMI company sleeve.

The Sex Pistols are an English punk rock band that formed in London in 1975.  They are responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians.  Although their initial career lasted just two-and-a-half years and produced only four singles and one studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, they are regarded as one of the most influential acts in the history of popular music.

The Sex Pistols originally comprised vocalist Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock. Matlock was replaced by Sid Vicious in early 1977.  Under the management of impresario Malcolm McLaren, the band created controversies which captivated Britain.  Their concerts repeatedly faced difficulties with organisers and authorities, and public appearances often ended in mayhem.  Their 1977 single "God Save the Queen", attacking Britons' social conformity and deference to the crown, precipitated the "last and greatest outbreak of pop-based moral pandemonium".

In January 1978, at the end of a turbulent US tour, Rotten left the band and announced its breakup.  Over the next several months, the three other band members recorded songs for McLaren's film version of the Sex Pistols' story, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle.  Vicious died of a heroin overdose in February 1979.  In 1996, Rotten, Jones, Cook and Matlock reunited for the Filthy Lucre Tour; since 2002, they have staged further reunion shows and tours.  On 24 February 2006, the Sex Pistols - the four original members plus Vicious - were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but they refused to attend the ceremony, calling the museum "a piss stain".

The record is in VERY GOOD condition and plays well with surface noise and the odd click, as you would expect.  The company sleeve is also in VERY GOOD condition with slight creasing and ring wear.

All records are well packaged in quality mailers and sent recorded delivery in the UK and with adequate compensation, depending on selling price, if sent abroad.

No Reserve
Good Luck and Happy Bidding
