SEX PISTOLS - The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle

Item Description

Vinyl, , Utopia Cut
7" 45 RPM Single Stereo

This pressing cut at Utopia was issued with a purple label on side B in a picture sleeve that was soon banned after an injunction by American Express on grounds of 'infringement of copyright'.

This version had its lacquers cut at Utopia Studios, London (in the run-out etchings, the Ʊ is drawn as a lyre - this may be interpreted as harp symbol)
There is another version with the purple B side label, which is cut by [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/473994-Porky-5]Porky[/url].

[a=Dave Goodman] stated in his book "My Amazing Adventures With The Sex Pistols" (page 169) that he played bass on both tracks, which were recorded in June 1978 at Ramport Studios (115 Thessaly Road, London SW8). Vocals by [a=Tenpole Tudor] were added later on.
