Overview Edit

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols is the first and only studio album recorded by the Sex Pistols, a highly influential and controversial English punk band. Fans and critics alike generally regard the album as an extremely important record in the history of rock music, citing the lasting influence it has had on subsequent punk musicians and other musical genres that were influenced by such punk rock artists.

The album was released on 28 October 1977 on the Virgin Records label amid controversy arising from the use of the obscenity (in British English) "bollocks" in its title.

Older versions of most of the album's songs also appeared on a bootleg album called Spunk, which consists of demo recordings the band had made during 1976 and January 1977, and which was released shortly before Never Mind the Bollocks.

I've never seen so much blatantly false information about a subject in one place before. Some of these people need to find out what the hell they are talking about before they submit reviews. I'm guessing that many of these 1-star ratings are coming from children weened on the Green Day poseurs.

Just to set the record straight, aside from some dross that was released after their demise, Bollocks is the ONLY Pistols album. To say that it is their best album or their worst album is simply a displa…

Contrary to what many say, the Sex Pistols were not the originators of punk. In the U.S. The Ramones beat them to the punch by a year or so, and in the U.K. The Damned released their first album a few months before Nevermind The Bollocks.. came out in '77 (what a year!). Of course, then you had The New York Dolls, The Stooges, and The MC5 who all came before them.

Still, this was a very important recording, for if nothing else it revealed punk's scathing anger to the world, a world in which rad…
