Sex Pistols / ‘Never Mind The Bollocks…’ super deluxe: reformatted and reissued
The out-of-print 2012 super deluxe edition of the Sex Pistols‘ 1977 album Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols is being reissued and reformatted (for the album’s 40th anniversary) into a cheaper more compact edition and will be released next month.
This new package contains the same three CDs and DVD as the previous box set, but just presents them in a smaller package. The new box (pictured above) looks to be around 6-7-inches square, whereas the previous box was a large format 12-inch set.
So to be clear, you get the original studio album with 1977 B-sides (CD 1), a disc of outtakes (CD2), a disc of 1977 live material (CD3) and a DVD featuring 1977 footage of the band playing live from the infamous boat party held on the River Thames, London; the Winter Gardens, Penzance in Cornwall and the Happy House, Stockholm, Sweden.
Missing is the large 100-page book, the replica seven-inch single, the poster, stickers and the copy of the handwritten lyrics. However, this new box set is less than half the price of the original and you do still get a 48-page hardback book with narrative from music journalist Pat Gilbert plus rare photos etc.
Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols will be reissued on 27 October 2017
