SEX PISTOLS NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS BELGIUM EXPORT FOR FRANCE 12" LP Vinyl Album

"Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" is the only studio album released by the Sex Pistols, an English punk rock band formed in 1975. The album was released on 28 October 1977, by Virgin Records and was produced by Chris Thomas. It is considered one of the most influential albums in the history of punk rock, and it remains a significant cultural icon even today.

The Sex Pistols formed in London in 1975, with Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) as the lead vocalist, Steve Jones on guitar, Glen Matlock on bass, and Paul Cook on drums. The band quickly gained notoriety for their confrontational live performances, which often led to them being banned from clubs and venues. They signed with EMI Records in 1976 but were dropped shortly after due to their erratic behavior and offensive language. The band then signed with Virgin Records and began recording their debut album.

"Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" is a raw, aggressive, and uncompromising album that captures the energy and spirit of punk rock. The album features fast-paced, stripped-down, and guitar-driven songs that are short, catchy, and full of attitude. The lyrics are confrontational and often offensive, dealing with themes such as social alienation, political corruption, and sexual frustration. The album's sound and message were a direct response to the bloated and self-indulgent rock music of the 1970s, which the Sex Pistols saw as a reflection of the decadence and hypocrisy of British society.

The album opens with the song "Holidays in the Sun," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its driving guitar riff and aggressive vocals. Other notable tracks include "Anarchy in the UK," "God Save the Queen," "Pretty Vacant," and "No Feelings." These songs showcase the Sex Pistols' musical and lyrical prowess, and they have become classic anthems of the punk rock genre.

"Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" was a game-changer for the music industry. The album's release sparked a cultural revolution and inspired a generation of musicians and fans. The Sex Pistols became the poster boys for the punk rock movement, and their music and message challenged the status quo and inspired social change. The album's impact was felt not only in the UK but also worldwide, as punk rock became a global phenomenon.

The album was also controversial due to its explicit language and provocative lyrics. The UK government tried to ban the album and prevent it from being sold, but this only added to its notoriety and popularity. The album's cover art, which featured a pink front cover and a green back cover with no text other than the band's name and the album title, was a statement in itself. It was a rejection of the slick and polished album covers of the time and a nod to the DIY ethos of punk rock.
