CD Reviews

Ephemera for serious Sex Pistols fanatics only.
09/04/1998
(2 out of 5 stars)

"The 22 tracks (45+ minutes) are a very uneven assortment of outtakes, interviews, some live material, etc. The Australian TV advertisement and some of the interviews can best be classified as throwaways. Most of the tracks are familiar with only one or two obscure tracks: Schools are Prisons; Watcha Gonna Do About It. For you karaoke fans, track eight is the backing track (no vocals) for Pretty Vacant. The packaging is low budget as well, with scant liner notes. To sum it up, the warning on the back says it all: Caveat Emptor - Let the Buyer Beware! Recording quality is suspect.Castle Communications could have done a much better job with this one. With a little more effort they could have ensured that whoever bought this CD doesn't immediately feel as if they have been fleeced. The Swindle continues."

"I am a huge Sex Pistols fan, myself, and I am sad to say that this is one of the worst complications I`ve ever heard with them , except for the awful Live-Albums... The sound-quality is so poor, that I don`t know how you can ever mix this sound into a Long-Play-CD... For new listeners; Keep away from this... And the "Karaoke-Track" is not an original thing: They have just cut off Johnny Rotten`s voice! This is Swindle For All The Money!!! (And from what Bootleg is the Sweden-Tour taken from???)"

"I'm not going to do an actual review of the album, however I am going to make something quite clear. The reason why you can only find 'schools are prisons' on this album is becuase 'schools are prisons' is NOT a sex pistols song. In fact, half of the album is NOT sex pistols. (...)



The track was recorded during the recording session for the Sexless Pistols - Deny LP



The band comprized of people like Matlock, Goodman and McIntosh..



However do note that most of the songs on the ablum are the sex pistols. It's just that that song and perhaps one or two others are not.



Just wanted to make that clear."
