U.K. DISCOGRAPHY
The following guide is divided into two parts to help distinguish between the essential and the less than essential. Non UK releases are included if thought to be of special interest.

This is primarily a 20th Century guide. The turn of the Millennium saw a deluge of more of the same endless repackaged recordings. I am no longer willing to waste my time wading through it all, as there is nothing new! It's all here!

PART ONE
The release of "SEXBOX" and "This Is Crap" makes many "semi-official" releases no longer essential. The following, however, are worth seeking....


ALBUMS

December 1980
Factory FACT 30   "The Heyday"
Notes. Cassette only. Interviews with Sid Vicious, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Johnny Rotten, & Malcolm McLaren's grandmother. Conducted by Judy Vermorel.
Cassette available in both black and gold.

November 1985
77 Records 771   "Where Were You In '77"
Notes. Complete concert from Newport, Shropshire, 23rd December 1977. Vinyl, later issued on CD (mastered direct from the vinyl).

March 1993
Dojo DOJO CD66.  "Live At Chelmsford Prison"
Notes. CD issue, (also limited picture CD). Live performance from 17th September 1976. Unfortunately, the actual order of songs was changed for the release. Not to be confused with the picture disc CD of (almost) the same name released in the U.S. in 1990 on Restless (772511-2) which contains overdubbed crowd noises & fake Johnny Rotten dialogue between songs.
Subsequently re-released on Castle's Essential label (ESMCD923) in 2000.
Update 2016. Now included complete in the box set "Live '76" (Universal Music Group 2016)

July 1995
Dojo CD216.   "Wanted: The Goodman Tapes"
Notes. CD issue. Very poor quality demo/live album. However, does contain different take of the Cook/Jones rarity "Here We Go Again", which IS excellent quality. Beware! One track is NOT the Sex Pistols. Previously released in the U.S. on Skyclad  (SEX 6 CD) in 1988, as "We've Cum For Your Children (Wanted: The Goodman Tapes)"
Subsequently re-released on Castle's Essential label (ESMCD608) in 1998.

January 1996
Dojo  CD222.   "Pirates Of Destiny"
Notes. CD issue, (also limited picture CD). Contains original versions of  '76 demos later reworked for the "Swindle" LP, plus the rare "Through My Eyes". Beware! One track is NOT the Sex Pistols. Previously released in the U.S. on Skyclad Inc..
Subsequently re-released on Castle's Essential label (ESMCD609) in 1998.

Update June 2002. 'Sex Pistols' (box set) Virgin (SEXBOX1) includes the afore mentioned demos.

1996
MBC Records 2140016     "The Italian Job"
Notes. CD re-issue of the "Italian Demos" LP included in JOCK BOX 1. Features four Mike Thorne produced demos unavailable elsewhere; "No Feelings", "No Future", "Liar", and "Problems". "Italian" refers to a DJ who introduces the demos on Italian radio, from where these recordings are taken. Also includes live & interview material.

Update June 2002. 'Sex Pistols' (box set) Virgin (SEXBOX1) includes the afore mentioned demos.

October 1996
When!  WEN CD008.   "Winterland Concert"
Notes. CD issue."Final" concert, San Francisco, 14/1/78. U.K issue does however suffer from minor editing, unlike it's Japanese counterpart (VACM-1114), which is unedited. Be warned, some Japanese re-pressings feature the same edit as the U.K. release.
Subsequently re-released on Castle Music as 'Live At Winterland' (CMRCD198) in 2001.

1997
Creativeman CMD-055  "The Swindle Continues"
Notes. US CD includes Goodman demos available elsewhere. However, of particular note is the inclusion of the studio chat before the start of the 'Pretty Vacant' demo, as heard on the original 'Spunk' bootleg. This studio chat does not appear on "No Future UK?" (see below). Contains the full version of 'No Fun' (as issued by Virgin with ending edited).

Update June 2002. 'Sex Pistols' (box set) Virgin (SEXBOX1) includes the afore mentioned full version of 'No Fun' .

January 2000
Almafame YEAAH10LTD   "The 76 Club"
Notes. The only non bootleg 'unedited' issue of the famous concert recorded at Burton upon Trent, 24/9/76. However, some editing between songs has taken place. Why? First 5000 copies issued as a 2CD set, the second CD containing extracts from radio interviews with the band conducted in San Francisco, January 1978.  
Update 2016. Now included complete in the box set "Live '76" (Universal Music Group 2016)

October 2001
Sanctuary CMRCD355 "No Future UK?"
Notes. CD re-issue. This legendary bootleg brought together the "Spunk" bootleg (Denmark St., July '76; Gooseberry Studios, January '77; & Wessex Studios '76 ) plus additional July '76 versions of "Pretty Vacant" & "Anarchy In The UK", plus the Wessex Studios "No Fun". Contains the full version of 'No Fun' (as issued by Virgin with ending edited).
This release is of a far superior sound quality to the previously available CD on Receiver (RRLP 117).

PART TWO

THE REST...........

As a rough, incomplete, guide to the remaining semi/unofficial U.K. releases, the following rating system has been applied.

***  Good quality/ recommended. This can include releases which have been superceded by more comprehensive &/or better quality releases.  

**   Of limited interest. May contain occasional interest, but overall, worth avoiding.

*      Purchase at your peril. 

Please note, the occassional non-U.K. release may appear where the country of origin is unclear, or the release is exceptional & cannot be ignored.
