Notes. 'Sex Pistols 76-77' compiles all the studio recordings not released officially during those two years.

Some cuts were subsequently made available on 'Sex Pistols' box set (aka 'SexBox') (2002) and others on 'Never Mind The Bollocks Super Deluxe Box Set' (2012) / 'NMTB 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition' (2017). Discs 1-3 of this new collection gathers them all in one place along with a further eight tracks which have never before seen the light of day.

This set follows the development of the band as they fine tune their craft via producers Dave Goodman and Mike Thorne before nailing their signature sound under the stewardship of Chris Thomas.

Disc 4 is the 'Spunk' bootleg LP originally released in 1977 which featured a number of Dave Goodman produced recordings. It was later expanded as 'No Future UK' with three additional songs. These tracks also feature on discs 1 and 2 in their respective sessions, so this really is a bonus experience - 'Spunk' as it appeared back in the day.

Basically, 'Sex Pistols 76-77' has the lot. Enjoy alongside 'Never Mind The Bollocks' and those original four singles - the Sex Pistols in their entirety. And it is yours.
