Description

So impossibly hard to find these days, this is a 100% genuine, original & complete copy of the 11-track version of Never Mind the Bollocks by the SEX PISTOLS, complete with its original PROMO POSTER, 1-sided free 7" SUBMISSION, and original SHRINK-WRAP SPOTS 001 STICKER!  If that wasn't enough, what makes this copy SO VERY special is the fact that the sleeve has a plain pink back with NO TRACK TITLES.  This means it's one of the super-rare very first 1,000 copies ever pressed (Sex Pistols - A Collector's Guide by Gavin Walsh, Plexus Publishing 2003).  Virgin Records UK, 1977, V2086 / SPOT001.

I can guarantee that this copy is genuine & 100% complete because I personally bought it from Virgin Records in Manchester during the autumn of 1977.  Check this out...

Sleeve:  Legendary fluorescent yellow/pink outer jacket with correct reproduction of Jamie Reid's original artwork - i.e. very crude black lettering, quickly printed with holes in the plain colour of the 'T', 'B' and 'S'.  NO TRACKS LISTED ON REVERSE OF SLEEVE with plain pink back.  I'd grade the sleeve as being in EXCELLENT CONDITION.

Shrink-wrap sticker:  Original 7.5cm square fluorescent orange two-virgins SPOTS 001 UK PRESSING sticker, still attached to a section of the original shrink-wrap.  Note - the sticker correctly reads SPOTS 001 not SPOT 001!

Inner sleeve:  Original paper inner sleeve with correct 'Made in England' September 1977 date stamp.

Promo Poster:  Original and genuine 5x fold Jamie Reid 25.5" x 39.5" montage promo poster in MINT CONDITION without any pinholes, rips, tears or Blu-Tak marks.  This is in the same condition as it was the day it was opened.

LP Vinyl:  Original 11-track VIRGIN sky-blue labels with timing, correct band credits and 'Chris Thomas & Bill Price' production credits.  Correct V2086 A3/B1 matrix markings in run-out grooves.  The vinyl is in absolutely stunning MINT CONDITION without any spindle marks on the labels.

1-sided 7":  Genuine 1-sided vinyl press of SUBMISSION, with correct VDJ-24-A2 marking in run-out groove.  Virgin Records, VDJ 24, 1977.  Vinyl graded as being in MINT CONDITION.

Both records, the poster & the sleeve have been stored in heavy duty PVC and card protective sleeves which are included in the sale.  Bid with confidence - I have a 100% feedback profile and take great care with packaging.

Payment to be made in full within 7 days of close of auction.  Buyer pays all postage and insurance costs - international rates on request.  Payment can be made by either PayPal, UK Postal Order or UK personal cheque (5 working days to clear).
