The 35th Anniversary super deluxe box set of “Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols” will be released on September 24th through Universal Music UK.
The package features the original master tapes from the album’s 1977 recording sessions, which were thought to be lost for many years. They were rediscovered during the recent move from Virgin Records to Universal Music Catalogue in January, and have been remastered, for the very first time, by Tim Young under direction from original producer Chris Thomas.
Other treats include the inclusion of six demos first included on the infamous 'Spunk' bootleg album, released for the very first time in their original, untouched form following the very recent discovery of their original master tapes. These, combined with a selection of unreleased Chris Thomas demos and outtakes from the recording of the album - including tracks with Sid Vicious on bass - plus a wealth of live audio and visual material all from 1977, make up the new box set.
Also included is a 100-page hardback book that features a Sex Pistols’ diary of 1977, packed with exclusive images, recording details, memorabilia and rare photos detailing every significant band event in their breakout year, with quotes from key figures.
The band has offered up a video preview of the diary; for more details on the full package, click here.
