The super deluxe 35th anniversary Never Mind The Bollocks... box set
Legendary British punk band the Sex Pistols will release a 'super deluxe box set' version of the iconic Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols album to mark the record's 35th anniversary.
Undoubtedly a release that shaped the sound of the punk bands to follow them - and one which still resonates today - Universal had opened the band's proverbial vaults for previously unheard and unreleased music, footage, interviews and more.
In January this year the original master tapes of the album were recovered after previously thought to be lost. These have been remastered for the first time by Tim Young under the eye of original producer Chris Thomas. On top of that there's lost studio demos, live recordings and replica memorabilia.
From the label themselves, here's a list of what's included:
