Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks, The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle, More Product, Flogging A Dead Horse, Sid Sings & We've Cum For Your Children (Wanted The Goodman Tapes)



Sex Pistols were a British punk band that formed in London in 1975. They were 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, they are regarded as one of the most influential acts in the history of popular music. On 17 January 1978, at the end of a turbulent tour in the United States, Johnny Rotten left the band and announced its break-up.


Band members:
Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) - vocals
Steve Jones - guitar
Glen Matlock - bass
Paul Cook - drums.
Glenn Matlock was replaced by Sid Vicious in early 1977. He is credited as co-writer on 10 of the 12 songs appearing on the album.


"Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols" was the only studio album by Sex Pistols, released in 1977 on Virgin Records.
The album's official release date for the UK was intended to be 4 November 1977. However copies were released prior to this in mid to late October 1977 on Virgin Records. Initially, only available as an 11 track album omitting the track Submission. Submission was included with most copies as a one-sided seven-inch single.
At the time of the album's initial advanced release date, new master plates were been prepared including the additional track Submission, thus a 12 track pressing of the album was very quickly introduced to the UK, at the start of November 1977. In 2012 a deluxe remastered edition was released on Universal UMC.

Tracks:
1-12 the original album remastered from original master tapes
13-16 B-sides:
13 unreleased 1977 7" God Save The Queen, withdrawn on A&M Records

"Flogging A Dead Horse" is a compilation album of singles by Sex Pistols, released after their break-up. The album was released in 1979 on Virgin Records and reissued in 1986 on Virgin Records.
The title has several ironic meanings: the idiomatic one of the saying "Flogging A Dead Horse" reflecting the fact that Sex Pistols' endeavours were now finished, futile and pointless and the British slang use of flogging to mean selling, in other words Sex Pistols' management, in true punk style, were overtly referencing that they were trying to get as much money for as little effort as
possible from the album's sales.

Sid Vicious was born 10 May 1957 in London, as John Simon Ritchie. He later adopted his stepfather's surname of Beverley.
He appeared briefly as the drummer for Siouxsie And The Banshees and was also a member of Flowers Of Romance before replacing Glen Matlock as bass player in Sex Pistols.
After the break-up of Sex Pistols he performed with Johnny Thunders, solo and with the band Vicious White Kids, the latter with which he performed his farewell gig in July 1978.
While staying in New York City's Hotel Chelsea, he was arrested on 12 October 1978 for the murder of his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. Ten days later, he tried to kill himself and was sent to Bellevue Hospital. He died in 1979 after overdosing on heroin in New York City.

Au Pairs - Playing With A Different Sex, Sense & Sensuality, Live In Berlin & Equal But Different BBC Sessions 79-81



Au Pairs were a British rock band that formed in Birmingham in 1978 and broke up in 1983, just before they began recording a third album. They produced two studio albums and three singles.
Au Pairs blend political lyrics, a tough, funk-dance-rock idiom and at least initially dispassionate vocal style, rather like the Gang of Four meeting the Young Marble Giants.


The politics of their lyrics is not the usual anarchism or communitarian leftism, although that may underlie their ideology. The texts concentrate instead on the politics of modern-day personal relations, confronting the realities of sexual and romantic tensions with frankness and insight.

Band members:
Lesley Woods – guitar, vocals
Paul Foad – guitar, vocals
Jane Munro – bass
Peter Hammond – drums.

"Live In Berlin" is a live album, released in 1983 on A.K.A. Records. The album was reissued in 1996 on Essential.
It is a live recording during the "Feministisches Rockfestival" at Tempodrom, Berlin on 20 June 1981.

There was debate when this album came out in 1983 whether it was officially sanctioned or not. Lesley Woods received a £5,000 advance for the tapes of this live recording and then left the band. The rest of the band disowned the release and made this statement "The release of the album "Live In Berlin" was not authorised by Au Pairs. This should be apparent from its poor quality and the banality of the cover design and sleeve notes."

Tracklisting:
1. Diet
2. Headache For Michelle
3. Dear John
4. Love Song
5. Set Up
6. Inconvenience
7. Armargh
