映画『The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle』のサウンドトラックとして制作された企画アルバム。企画・準備段階でバンド自体が既に存在していなかった作品。とは言え、2011年のAUのコマーシャルに「MY WAY」のカバーが使用されるなど、永遠にその輝きを失わない名盤中の名盤が2012年最新リマスターとして登場!

A wildly inconsistent but often entertaining collection, the soundtrack to the Sex Pistols' pseudo-documentary contains great music, whacked-out novelties, and flat-out tripe in approximately equal proportions. Some formative recordings are included -- mostly covers like "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone," plus a demo of "Anarchy in the U.K." that somehow manages to top the version on Never Mind the Bollocks in terms of raw rage and sheer power. "I Wanna Be Me" and a veiled chronicle of the band's breakup, "Silly Thing," are also necessary items. Devoted fans will enjoy "The Black Arabs"' disco medley of Pistols' hits, a French version of "Anarchy in the U.K." complete with accordion, two tracks sung by loony Edward Tudor-Pole (later of Tenpole Tudor), and Sid Vicious' awful but strangely appropriate reading of Frank Sinatra's "My Way." ~ Steve Huey|
