Details: Amazon.ca Given that punk was supposed to blow away the hegemony of self-appointed "albums" artists, it's perhaps a little optimistic to expect a classic album by the Sex Pistols. Some would say that Never Mind The Bollocks was indeed such a thing; few though, would make the same claim about this, the accompanying album to the band's eponymous movie. That's not, however, to say that The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle doesn't yield some top moments: "God Save The Queen" and "Anarchy In The UK" still remain as beautifully nihilistic as pop can get. Alas though, Glen Matlock didn't stick around long enough to write a few more. What fills the gaps, in his absence, is a slew of occasionally amusing novelty songs ("Who Killed Bambi", Sid's "My Way", "Friggin In The Riggin"), lame covers ("Substitute", "Johnny B Goode", the afro-funk Pistols medley "Black Arabs") and a charming cameo from great train robber Ronnie Biggs on "Belsen Was A Gas". Perhaps you had to be there. --Peter Paphides Product Description Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2007.
