What's your favorite SEX PISTOLS record? A look at my collection. 

Bodies & no feelings were my favourite and still are, still want to jump up and down hearing them at 54.

So many great songs, but for me one of their very finest was Did You No Wrong! Fantastic lyrics & sliding chords etc!

Also my favorite band of all time. Their 26 months will inspire 26 generations.

Liar and Problems in that order for me. From the most iconic albums ever produced. Lovely.

Thank you for keeping the legend alive!!

The mini album is demos dave work as a p.A for the band, he did all the sound at gigs and did many demos with them,check 1976-1977 all pistols demos which sound amazing, 8 previously unreleased tracks,and the rest are mixed at different,extra banter as well between songs.

The greatest band of all time for me,.😊

I remember all the bootleg records that came out in the 80s, a lot from Dave Goodman. I have a bunch of them.

one of my favorite songs is "did you no wrong" which wasn't on the bollocks album. great version on their live dvd from Brixton Academy

hello, i'm Antonio from Italy. your PISTOLS collection it's very very similar of my PISTOLS collection. i have the same copy of "Punk" album with the rubber ink name and it's the first time who i see in one video a copy of japanese "very best of Sex Pistols" who i have bought in 1981 at the age of 22...great video for fabulous records (and also memorabilia).. like Johnny Rotten in S.Francisco last rconcert, "one more number: no fun!".....

I also like the way you are emotional during the videos. It goes to show how potent music can really be

I met Dave Goodman several times, and heard the Spunk tapes before they were released. Dave worked with the punk band Eater. I knew members of Eater as school friends. Throught Dave Goodman Brian Chevette , guitarist with Eater bought Steve Jones original Les Paul guitar. It was auctiined at Christies in 2010 for £16,000. Dave Goodman died in 2005.

What's crazy is I was in Jr high in 1976 in Monroe LA, kiss, aerosmith, and nazereth were my bands, I never even got to hear the sea pistols till 2003, I downloaded never mind the bollocks 2023 love all the songs on it, they did go backorder his vocals and Steve's guitar is a lot fatter!

'New York' and 'Problems' were the ones with the requisite dash of darkness for me - and I find that alternating between NMTB and the 'Spunk' album keeps the material fresh and piquant. Excellent channel!

There is alot of songs I like from the super club sid was my idol so my way would be my fave but als anarchy in the uk God save the queen the great rock n roll swindle song and so much more

This is the first video yours I ever watched. I remember exactly what I felt. Oh great! A true Sex Pistols fan and she's from the Stat🎉! Ha love you and everything you do 🎉😢😅

I LOVE NMTB album. My band covered Pretty Vacant and Submission back in the day. The first one I played and probably still my favorite is God Save The Queen. I read about them in a High Times mag, went to my local record store (Cincinnati, Ohio) and bought it and Rockets to Russia (The Ramones). I was a Southern Rock fan at the time. First listen to GSTQueen blew me away! Loved it. Me and my southern rock drummer found and joined a punk rock band up near the U of Cincinnati. A guy from Youngstown Ohio came to college. He was the first real "punk rocker" I met.

Check out as well 1976-1977 chris spedding did first session with them, chris had a hit record with motorbikeing track in the uk. He thought they were very good musicians,and said he felt the press had got them very wrong,the band had only been together for six moths at the time, they were a for 2 years, and then did reuion tours from 1996 then 2002, 2007, 2008.

"The Mini Album"!!! Mi preferido!...en Argentina lo edito un sello llamado Continental Records. Yo lo tenia en cassette, y, para mi, tiene la mejor versión de "Submission" de todas las registradas en estudio. Es darkie. Además, aquí es notable lo buen bajista que era Glen Matlock...Me hubiese encantado que en la primer formación de PIL, Matlock toque el bajo, pero bueno...

I've watched some of your videos now and find them really interesting. It's great to see someone sharing their obvious enthusiasm for this legendary band. Also you evoke a real feeling of those times from first-hand experience. I have owned a few Sex Pistols records. My favourite track is 'No Fun' and my favourite album would have to be the original studio one. Enjoy watching your channel. You have a real talent for communicating your enthusiasm. Many thanks for posting.

The live re-union album from the 90's is my favorite live album from the Sex Pistols.. My favorite punk live album is The Ramones It's Alive from New Years '76 '77.. Or was it '77 '78? The live version of Surfin' Bird is awesome. Joey's vocals are awesome on that track..

Great stuff. I have the Some Products album. Its got commercials and radio interviews with Steve and Paul from the American tour.

Burton on trent in 2 hours away from where i live it's staffordshire, i live in leicestershire, dave did many demos and great live recordings.also ann sid,s mum lived in swadlincote this place is next town to burton on trent.

Wow, you've got a great collection there. I love the Pistols too but only have Never Mind The Bollocks..., The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle, Flogging A Dead Horse and Kiss This.

Theres a new bootleg sweden gig, 2 extra tracks from trondheim gig that was not on kiss, previously unreleased all of this plus a johnny rotten interview this is an amazing thing must have in sex pistols collection sound quality good.

NMTB,and SPUNK are my faves. Anything live is just amazing.

The early B-sides - "Satellite", "Wanna Be Me" - both have a feeling or sense of what the band could have been. Both have something of a Dickensian feel - Not sure what I really mean here, but they sound more seventies. Beyond these, I agree with you, the SPUNK recording far outweighs the Bollocks album, which, essentially, is a regular rock album with the addition of having two or three of the best RnR songs of all time. x

Btw, I just adore your ultimate enthusiasm for the group. Halo the Pistols! ⛷️⛷️🚶

Great video again and your passion. Love the spunk album my favourite pistols record . Burton on Trent one of the biggest beer brewing town in England 40 minutes from me . Love that live album

Never Mind the Bollocks is a given... I'm envious of your Vinyl NMTB album. Subbed...

I love your review and your perspective of the Sex Pistols and all your stories, you are so lucky to have followed them and all the great memories that you have. BTW: I was about 17 when they came to Atlanta and I can't believe that missed them, I have some friends that were there. Oh well!

I LOVE JAMIE REID'S art work. Fact: The lettering style is referred to as "Ransom note" Years ago, cutting the letters from news print or magazines and pasting them to make words, was to avoid the cops from identifing your hand writing.

Black leather single doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Granted, I think the outfit was down to Jones & Cook by then…(The Professionals) Enjoying yer recollections from back in the day 🍻

Great video again . There was an album called Pirates of Destiny too. I think some of the first prints of Bollox had 11 tracks and Submission as a single was inserted with no b-side on it

I agree with johns vocals on the spunk the sound nice and raw which I prefer Awesome collection!!

Another good video! You’re good at this…thank you!

#1 SEX PISTOLS LIVE AT WINTERLAND. #2 SID VICIOUS LIVE AT MAX'S KANSAS CITY #3 BURTON ON TRENT.

Never Mind The Bollocks is an absolute banger, but I'll always play Spunk instead. I love the rawness. It sounds like a band finding their feet, rather than a polished studio recording.

The original bootleg of burton of trent's gig is Indecent esposure,then exit in 1986 in vinyl

WoW...great video,great collection you showed there. I've just come across the video and your channel and I've liked and subscribed. Burton on Trent is north of London between Birmingham & Derby. I've got a few SEX PISTOLS albums and 7" singles,nothing major but I enjoy them and punk music in general. I have what I think is a second press of Never mind the bollocks,the first pressings didn't have the tracks on the back of the sleeve. I do have the free one sided 7" single that came with the first pressings as well 👍👍👍

Pistols live wow it's rare.

Love the album. Songs that stuck out: Bodies EMI God Save The Queen

Just stumbled on your channel, immediately subbed it. Love the Sex Pistols, great video! Cheers Joaquim

Mini lp is a session from 1976,exit in 1985\6 here in italy. about spunk:there is an brasilian version called Filth and the fury...is like the No future uk 76 77 lp

Spunk came out nov 1977, white copy is worth big bucks.

Sid lives inner sleeve is amazing. Must get it.

Never Mind the Bollocks is the only LP that really matters. Pretty Vacant's A-Octave-Fifth (E)-A double time arpeggiated guitar chord followed by rolling thunder kick drum & floor toms is one of the greatest intros of Rock History, as is the haunting "Cheap Holidays in Other People's Misery" Death March of Holidays in the Sun. Anarchy in the UK is an iconic Punk Anthem, and God Save the Queen is the Death Knell of the benighted British Empire. Sid Vicious & Co's cameo at the end of Goodfellas a fitting tribute. But after all the Sound & Fury Signifying Nothing, at least the boys will always have Christmas in Huddersfield. Good times despite all the bullshit.

Just found your channel and already love it. I was 16 at the start of the Punk explosion and got to see so many bands play in the UK, including Iggy, The Runaways, Johnny Thunders, The Ramones and so many more. Keep up the great work on your channel.

Hello!, my name is Samuel and I love the Sex Pistols too. I loved your collection, you probably know the Pistols concert at Shelmford Prison in 76, I got it on cassette at the end of the 90s and I still have it, I would like you to talk about what information you know about that Pistols concert. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Live at Chelmsford top security prison is probably my favorite, johns little comments are so cutting and direct, love your collection ❤

My favorite is Live At Burton Upon Trent on Cassette. I first heard it when I shoplifted it from a used book store in the DFW metroplex in 1987 when I was 13. It sounded horrible then, and I was so jealous of my friend for getting a copy of Bollocks. But these days, I love hearing that live album.

I would love to get an original of it. I had a very early copy from like 1980, which was actually not that early consider. It came out three years earlier .lol, but I would like to get it again one day

I doubt you’re still checking comments on this one but just in case. I worked at Licorice Pizza on North Lake Ave. in Pasadena back in 1978. I think it was there that I bought my UK import copy (yellow cover) of NMTBHTSP. (You may remember JEMS, the record distributor in New Jersey that slapped their stickers on many imports back in the day.). Anyway, my version is a special one with a catalogue number called “SPOTS 001”. It came with “Submission” on a free one-sided 7” single (not mentioned on the main album sleeve), and a giant poster - which is fantastic. It also came with a sticker (in various colors) on the shrink wrap that said “UK PRESSING includes one-sided single & Pistols poster” with a small Virgin logo underneath and “SPOTS 001” in the bottom left corner. Well me being the bright person I am, knowing what was inside I tossed the shrink wrap and the sticker - thus unknowingly lowering the future value by several hundred dollars! 😢

Hola. They made one album Never Mind The Bollocks and four singles officially. Spunk is some of the early demos made for NMTB. This was followed by The Great Rock n Roll Swindle, promoted as Sex Pistols at the time but was a collection of demos, covers and different takes for the film. My Way being the stand out. Sid Sings was a collection of live material taken from his shows in NYC. Except Chinese Rocks which is the Sex Pistols with Sid on vocals doing a sound check at the last UK show at Ivanhoes. Johnny Thunders never played with Sid. Steve Dior played guitar with him in NYC. Mick Jones also played at one show. Some Product is a collection of interviews. Flogging a Dead Horse is a dodgy collection of some of the singles. Hope this helps🤠.

My favorite was the Mini Album which I believe was recorded by Dave Goodman? That was the first Pistols cassette I owned, I then purchased Nevermind the Bollocks and had the same feeling of preferring the demo versions more..✌

The bootleg you have pink one, is from sweden one side, and winterland other side it's a great version of belsen.

I liked Anarchy in the UK on the Spunk album. It sounds really raw. If that version were to be remastered and cleaned up, it would probably be better than the one on Never Mind the Bollocks. I was only 11 when the Sex Pistols came out and didn't hear of them until 1986 when I discovered Punk and Alternative. A lot of your albums look like boot legs. Very cool covers. My favorite songs are Anarchy in the UK, and I'm not your stepping stone. I want to go back to your other videos bc it sounds like you have a lot of stories and met some great musicians.

First anarchy demo is the one with submission, song was written summer of 1976.

I love the Dave Goodman demos! Granted the Sex Pistols sued him for years over the records he released.

!A Live and a Loud!! In my opinión the best version live of Anarchy in the UK. Never Mind the Bollocks is the only official studio record by them.

Nice collection have got a copy of the mini album that plays bon Jovi 😂😂😄😄

Love your films and down to earth memories 🥰

There was only one Burton-On-Trent gig, but various releases of it, bootleg and official (its on Live 76 too).

'Pretty Vacant' and 'Problems'. These are very apt to what's happening in England today. Thank you for your fab video and superb records. Tallulah Vee

Yes,we got yellow cover in England,Pink for America,there was a really great Picture Disc too.

Thank you for your videos. I have found them really interesting and I like your relaxed presenting style. BTW Burton is a small town in Staffordshire (midlands area). Keep up the Good Work.

Spunk has Matlock on bass, Bollocks has Steve Jones doing the bass. It's a massive difference. Both valid.

The very best of the sex pistols is a studio collection, some product is a interview album, in england flogging a,dead horse means going nowere idea. The anarchy one is demo recording of the song.

I'm gonna have to get that spunk record

Nice collection there lady

It's amazing that the Never mind LP still holds up. It still sounds fresh and exciting after all these years. By the way, I'm trying to figure out why you look so familiar. I think we've met before or we used to hang out in the same circles back in the day. Does the name Jeff Chandler sound familiar? We played in a band together, scarecrows. He used to hang out at the mask back in the day.

The main pic of love kill Lp is token after the brunel university gig nov 77 or dec 77

Massively important band for U.K. music. The Manchester Free Trade Hall gig of 1976 inspired The Buzzcocks, Joy Division, The Fall. In the audience were also Martin Hammett & and the late great Tony Wilson. Wearing God Save The Queen T-shirt as I write this 🤣 🤘😝🤘

I have the bootleg called the filth and the fury. It’s on Smilin Ears label. That spunk sample you played sounds like mine. It’s a decent recording too

If you find the Spunk CD I believe the quality is improved as well as extra tracks. As Paul said Glen is all over it!

Burton on Trente is north of Birmingham. Nowehere near London. Name of album is not Never mind the "bullocks". Lol!+

Some Product

You can tell the Bollocks version is early because Submission has been stuck on .

I have most of those albums and a few others. I'll never part with any of them.

The cd set they brought out around early 2000s...had out takes n stuff on it...that was a good one .had everything they done on it I think

Thanks for sharing your memories and your record collection. I don't think Johnny Thunders is on the Sid Lives album.. I would love to have a recording of them doing something together.

Great video!! Just subscribed

Hi Maggie again! I thought I would watch this again because it was the first video I saw of you and your collection. I only have the Bollocks album. I didn't even know that the other ones were out on vinyl! I know of a couple of them but oh boy. My knowledge in comparison with yours is poor. I thought I was a true fan! Well, I am and it's people like you who educate people like myself who might not know of certain LPs and other recordings. I really hate the Great RnR Swindle as it was Malcolm's idea of what 'his' band were made of. As Johnny put it ' he didn't write the songs, go on tour or help us in any way. So Malcolm has kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. I read that he used to be sadistic towards Vivienne Westwood who was his partner for some time. Anyway, I am so happy that you have a great audience for your videos. It's terrific what you do considering how long ago it was. Shows you that we never really grow up and always will love whatever it is that we love no matter what. Cheers Maggie baby cakes 🍰

I still got indecent exposure on vinyl and last gig in us white label but all been released years later on various formats. Indecent exposure way superior compared to the US gig only because by then they became a cartoon band

Hold on to that SPUNK-bootleg, it should be worth more than 50 dollars!!!

I have some of those and I have some others. It is surprising how many Sex Pistols albums I have. I’m curious, fid you get to see the Germs.

I live in Nova Scotia, and in the mid 80's my dad had a conference in Charlottle, NC. We drove there and I remember buying (as a 14 yr old), Some Product (a bunch of radio interviews - mainly from the US tour), and Flogging (1st side had B-sides which are great). I also picked up Changes One by Bowie which was a great introduction to him, although I already had Let's Dance. Love the stories - keep 'em coming. Did you go to PiL's Dec '78 London shows? Thoughts on the Damned, Buzzcocks, Siouxsie?

I think one album was just fine, i mean lots of bootlegs demos, books cd calanders,presskits, imports, interviews, clothes, box sets, i mean ive got 9000 items to collect if not more, already got about 250 items, check out day by day lee wood book fot information. And gavin walsh god save the sex pistols collector book.

Nice collection. Think the 12” of anarchy you have is the French version. I have it on 7” single. Couple of friends worked on metal box pil at practice in London,then onto Virgins manor house studios to record the album

Sorry a spelling mistake i type to fast 😅

Great video on the sex pistols i have 4 copies my way on single and one on 12" version sid sings great rock n roll swindle never mind the bullocks yellow uk version and the picture dic version to it and i do have many more of the lps singles and 12 " vinyl by sex pistols but didn’t buy any of the bootleg albums just because its just the same stuff on every bootleg album that's just my way of thinking and i do have singles where the b side were never on the the albums all the best from Paul from England 🇬🇧 🔒🧷

I remember the original UK first press version of Never mind the Bollox (Yellow album Cover) Satellite Kid wasn't on the actual LP but came as an included 45 single.

Have u hear the pistols gig's in sweden 19\7\77?it's on line from 2 months..fantastic

I absolutely love your channel. Such great stories. Did you ever see the Germs?

I’ll just say I’m so pretty oh so pretty VACANT! That’s why I subscribed

they only recorded one album never mind the bollocks in 1977. lots of collections and outtakes but just one album.

You can’t but rise a crude smirk when you Americans say things like “I love spunk” , I’m sure your well aware of what you are doing by saying that but we tend to use that word in a lot different context to the American way of using it….. Hence why the label was called “Blank” , I.e. they were “firing blanks” ….it was all crude in-jokes. , just like how we tend to use the word “fags” in a totally different way to you Americans .. I’ve loved your reminiscences of your time on the front line of it all happening , you’ve a great channel. The album title “Flogging a dead horse” is another very U.K. expression that kinda meant what you use when you say “he jumped the shark” …kinda! …..Virgin were acknowledging the fact that they were wringing the very last penny out of their limited back catalogue …l.but I’m sure you know all that anyway? Carry on loving Spunk .😂

Never mind the bollocks was release in oct 28th 1977 i think ?

Paul Cook and family lived nearby. Nice guy and in later years he rewired our house!

Once Glen was pushed out, the band were doomed. Sid couldn't play, and they only wrote 2 new songs in the 11 months between his departure and the band breaking up. They obviously realized their mistake, they've never done a reunion without Glen.
