I just got a 12" of Anarchy in the UK with the all black sleeve for a couple bucks. One of those, "hmmmm... I thought I remember this being raer..." type things. I was looking up info on it, but there are so many variations on their shit - diff countries, 7", 12", etc... it's like fucking Beatles records.Is this anything?

    of course. I meant from a "collectro standpoint" (sorry)

    I love the Pistols!

    The only true collector's piece from the Sex Pistols is the UK A&M issue of 'God Save The Queen', which was in the stores for about 1 day before it was withdrawn and the group booted from the label. Routinely goes for around 1000 UK pounds.

    Right. There are 3 different labels that released the "Anarchy" single (not counting several 80s, 90s, & 00s reissues, boots and, uh, 25th anniversery commemoratives) - EMI, A&M, and Virgin (later, with the LP). I'm guessing that yours is on Virgin.

    Yeah, but then he's missing out on "Bodies," one of the best rising rockish choruses I've ever heard.

    yeah, this is the Virgin press.

    If it's UK and on Virgin, it's probably not rare. There are plenty of $ Pistols records...foreign (non-US/UK) sleeves are pretty scarce. The EMI press of the 45 is wanted...

    I don't know much about their records beside they suck.

    You can do better than that. Effort, man.
