Sex Pistols – Anarchy In The U.K. [7” RARE Single] (EMI 2566)

 

This was the Sex Pistols debut 7" single released on EMI Records in November 1976. Despite being banned from radio and receiving many negative reviews the record reached Number 38 in the UK charts before being withdrawn by the record company. EMI decided to withdraw the single after the media furore of the band's appearance on the 'Today' show; where interviewer Bill Grundy goaded the Pistols into swearing live on early evening TV. By January 1977 EMI had buckled to internal pressure and sacked the Sex Pistols, honouring their £40,000 contract in full. Now widely regarded as the definitive punk anthem it is important to understand the impact the single had on its release and remember the subject matter. 'Anarchy in the UK' sounded like nothing that had come before and unleashed the Pistols to a wider audience.

 

The single was released on 7" only, and originally issued in a plain black sleeve, before being reissued in a standard EMI sleeve after initial copies credited production of the b-side to Chris Thomas instead of Dave Goodman. This is the original single with Chris Thomas producer featured on the ‘B’ Side.

 

Side A: Anarchy In The U.K.

 

Side B: I Wanna Be Me

 

The vinyl is in excellent condition with the odd mark on both sides that have little or no effect on the sound quality. There is a Chris Thomas production credit on both sides. The all black picture sleeve is in good condition with storage wear, wear to the edges and a very small tear and creases to the top, open edge.
