The Swindle Continues - Re-release of Pistols T G R n R Swindle.


Today, tomorrow etc there will be various rereleses of the disputed Sex Pistols record The Great Rock n Roll Swindle. Johnny Rotten claim no involvment in the record and by many, including me, one of the Manager Malcolm Maclarens cut n past works. A fantasy about what he thought punk rock was about. To be honest it had nothing to do with the real punk movment. How ever I remember buying and liking the record because there was this empty void and an ugre for Pistols songs. Anyway, the record was done and it is a part of my growing up, so I still like it in a way, even if its more of Malcolm McLarens mixed tape more than a real Sex Pistols Record.





The Classic Frank Sinatra song My Way performed by an alredy iconic Sid Vicious.


There are a few good stuff on the record, like the funny song about the sex crazy pirates, Friggin´in the Riggin´, My Way and




The was two releases of the Great Rock N Roll Swindle, One as a double LP one as a Single LP. The covers differ between those releases.

The origial double LP release in 1979.
The movie The Great Rock n Roll Swindle was made as a mocumetary by young film Student Julien Temple. That today more or less feel he was manipulated by McLaren to do the GRnRS as he did it. As to set the record straight he did a proper interview documentary, The Filth and The Fury in 2000.
The 1980 single LP release

Pissed off Rotten not amused with the re Release of God Save the Queen

Hahaha! It must be ironic that the Britains most hated man in 1976-77, attacked in the streets and denied the right to perform by local authoroties, now are the symbol of the same Britain. Not only was there an offer to play at the 2012 London Olympics. Now the Sex Pistols classic anti establishment anthem is released as a comercial song ever now and them when the Queen of England celebrate something. John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten is not amused, and I understand him.
