About
Sex Pistols, British Punk Rock Igniters from London, 1975–1978.
Only one studio album, 'Never Mind The Bollocks', plus 10 vinyl releases with live and rarities pressings.
Formed in London's vibrant 1970s music scene, Sex Pistols combined provocative attitude with straightforward punk rock energy. The band initially featured Johnny Rotten (vocals), Steve Jones (guitar), Paul Cook (drums), and Glen Matlock (bass), who was replaced by Sid Vicious in 1977. Their rebellious single studio album, 'Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols' released in 1977, remains highly influential, with its stripped-down sound and controversial anthems like "God Save The Queen" and "Anarchy In The UK".
Sex Pistols' vinyl catalog includes various live recordings from 1976 to 1978, alongside compilations and soundtracks.
