NEW LP
New sealed copy. Rhino Records Rocktober 2025 limited edition reissue on ultra clear vinyl.
Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols is the only studio album by the Sex Pistols, released on October 28, 1977, through Virgin Records. Explosive and confrontational from the first note, it captured the chaos, frustration, and rebellion of 1970s Britain in a way no record had before. The sessions were notoriously unstable, with producer Chris Thomas steering the band through constant tension and lineup changes—bassist Glen Matlock departed early in the process, and his replacement, Sid Vicious, appeared only briefly on the record. Guitarist Steve Jones handled most of the bass parts, giving the album its thick, biting tone.
Musically, Never Mind the Bollocks distilled punk rock into its purest form—short, loud, and unapologetically aggressive. Tracks like “Anarchy in the U.K.,” “God Save the Queen,” and “Pretty Vacant” tore through the complacency of mainstream rock and the British establishment alike, while “Holidays in the Sun” and “Bodies” pushed boundaries both sonically and lyrically. Johnny Rotten’s sneering vocals and the band’s relentless drive turned the record into a battle cry for alienated youth, its simplicity masking sharp political and social critique.
Upon release, the album was banned, denounced, and censored, yet still debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. Its controversy only amplified its cultural impact—Never Mind the Bollocks became a landmark moment in rock history and the defining statement of punk’s first wave. It remains one of the most influential albums ever made, regularly cited by artists and critics alike as the spark that ignited generations of musical rebellion.
