Sex Pistols – Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols

Description

The album has influenced many bands and musicians, and the industry in general. In particular, the album’s raw energy, and Johnny Rotten’s sneering delivery and “half-singing”, are often considered game-changing. It is frequently listed as the most influential punk album, and one of the most important and best albums of all time.

The album was originally going to be titled God Save Sex Pistols. Jamie Reid’s cover concept refrained from including a picture of the group and instead was dayglo red and yellow in color with cutout lettering and a finish resembling crude screen-prints while the US version was pink with a green Sex Pistols logo. The album’s title changed in mid-1977, based on a phrase supplied by Steve Jones. Jones said he picked up the phrase “Never mind the bollocks” from two fans who would always say it to one another. Johnny Rotten explained its meaning as a working-class expression to “stop talking rubbish”.
