  Sex Pistols are making their 3rd single available in coloured vinyl for the first time, another limited edition classic. Released on the 2 July 1977, in the post ‘God Save The Queen’ fall out, the band were careering toward their all time great album ‘Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols’, also released that year. Along the way, Pretty Vacant came screaming into life, with its iconic primal lyrics of national frustration - “We’re so pretty, oh so pretty, we’re vacant!” Deservedly a smash hit, it also brought the band onto Top Of The Pops for the first time, finally presenting their incendiary performance and music to the mass of British public. The B-Side is one of the Pistols’ great covers, ‘No Fun’ originally by The Stooges, perfectly complimenting the late 1970s frustration and malaise especially felt by young people in Britain. After the 4576 copy limited release of ‘Anarchy in The UK,’ ‘Pretty Vacant’ will match the 4577 physical records available for ‘Holidays ...

  Sex Pistols are making their 4th single available in coloured vinyl for the first time, another limited edition classic. Further establishing their legendary status, the band's 4th single ‘Holidays In The Sun’, released on October, 14, 1977, climbed the charts to #8 and was the single used to promote their studio album, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. It was inspired by an aborted trip to Jersey to find some sun and fun, an attempt to escape the drudgery and animosity they experienced in London. After the 4576 copy limited release of ‘Anarchy in The UK,’ this single sees a small run of just 4577 physical records available for collectors. Following the success of the ‘God Save The Queen’ 7” vinyl releases in 2022 (which is the top selling physical single of the year and finally took the track to Number 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles Chart, 45 years to the day after it was kept off the top spot), the band’s other key singles from 76/77 will be revisited, with more...

  Sex Pistols are making their debut single available in coloured vinyl for the first time, a limited edition classic for collectors. Their era defining opening statement as a title and a song, ‘Anarchy In The UK’ was the band’s very first single, released on November 26, 1976. It is one of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame’s 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. The single was the only track issued under the band’s deal with the EMI label, before they were dropped after the controversial Bill Grundy show appearance. This small run of just 4576 physical records is a reissued piece of music history, the song that originated the filth and fury - a must-have for any fan of the Sex Pistols or rock in general. Following the success of the ‘God Save The Queen’ 7” vinyl releases in 2022 (which is the top selling physical single of the year and finally took the track to Number 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles Chart, 45 years to the day after it was kept off the top spot), the band’s other key s...
