Sex Pistols: Never Mind The Bollocks 35th Anniversary Box-Set Announced

Sex Pistols: Never Mind The Bollocks 35th Anniversary Box-Set Announced -

The Sex Pistols seminal album, 'Never Mind The Bollox, Here's The Sex Pistols' will receive the special deluxe treatment for the record's 35th Anniversary and will be released on September 24th through Universal Music UK.

The box-set will include the "lost" 1977 demo studio recording of 'Belsen Was A Gas' and the six demos from the 'Spunk' bootleg album as well as demos and outtakes. There will also be a copy of the handwritten lyrics to God Save The Queen, a replica of the withdrawn God Save The Queen A&M 7" single plus replica promo poster and stickers.

Still, if that's not enough to convince collectors that this particular 'special edition' is any different to the plethora of 'Never Mind The Bollox, Here's The Sex Pistols' albums and reissues already available, then the 35th Anniversary edition will also feature a 100-page 1977 diary featuring quotes plus rare and previously unseen photos. As well as a live 1977 DVD which has been produced by Julien Temple which features unseen performances, promo videos and radio interviews.
