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.

"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.
