SEX PISTOLS VERY RARE NMTB ALBUM MATRIX A3 B3 FIRST 1000 PRESSING!

THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST 1000 PRESSINGS WITH THE PLAIN BACK SLEEVE AND SUBMISSION MISSING FROM THE TRACK TITLES BEFORE IT GOT ADDED ON THE LATER PRESSINGS.I DON'T NEED TO TELL ANY COLLECTOR HOW RARE THESE ARE!

SLEEVE IS IN VG CONDITION WITH A FEW MARKS AND ALSO TWO 2" SEEM SPLITS AS I HAVE SHOWN IN THE PICTURES.

RECORD IS IN VG CONDITION WITH ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE,IT HAS SURFACE SCRATCHES AND A FEW WATER SPOTS AS YOU CAN SEE IN PICTURES BUT STILL PLAYS FINE.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE "NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS" PLAIN BACK PRESSINGS
Between the end of August '77 & September '77, members of the Sex Pistols could not decide if the record was going to be released with or without 'Submission'. To speed up the band Richard Branson decided to press an 11 track version without 'Submission', and non-featuring - on purpose - a back cover without any titles. 1000 copies were pressed but the band changed their mind and finally decided to include the song on the record.

Rather than send the whole batch to the bin, Branson decided to recycle the copies exclusively on the promotional circuit, but the Barclay release caused him to change his masterplan again and Virgin Records sent most of the copies to France in order to counter attack Barclay on its own playground, although some copies were also sold in the UK, Sweden and USA, and possibly others countries as a single album without any single or poster bonus.

The best way to know if you have got one of the rare real first 1000 copies is the matrix number: V2086 A1/B1 or V2086 A3/B3. Why use 2 different matrix numbers for the same pressing? Because the manufacturer used several pressing machines at the same time. It was also a good way to test all the different sets of plates.

To sum up the blank back story, if you got A1/B1 & A3/B3 you got one of the first exclusive 1000 copies and all the others pressings are just misprints.

WILL BE SENT BY RECORDED DELIVERY FOR SAFETY OF THE BUYER AND SELLER

ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK AND HAPPY BIDDING!!
