You can argue whether or not punk is dead until you're blue in the face - but you can't deny catalogue music is on the ropes, as the recently-announced details of a super deluxe edition of Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols, arguably the primo example of the punk genre.

Not long ago, we noticed that Never Mind The Bollocks - that incendiary album that seemed to threaten to upend social order in England, with sneering single "God Save the Queen" released in step with the royal family's silver jubilee - has actually not been reissued often, aside from a 1996 expansion that included one of the only official releases of the fabled bootleg/"demo" album Spunk, featuring rawer, alternate versions of the Pistols' first tunes. It was easy to speculate why: reportedly, the master tapes were nowhere to be found at least through 2007, prompting the band to reunite in-studio to re-record "Anarchy in the U.K." and "Pretty Vacant" for use in a Guitar Hero video game.

The news that the tapes have apparently been found and utilized for a brand-new remaster of the album (credited to engineer Tim Young "under the guidance of original producer Chris Thomas") on this set is, it seems, only half the fun. Two bonus CDs are included in the box featuring not only the Spunk tracks newly remastered from the original tapes, but a pair of live shows from 1977 and a host of outtakes from the Bollocks sessions with Chris Thomas - including, for the first time, the original studio version of the incredibly controversial "Belsen Was a Gas," featuring John Lydon's original vocal track instead of the Ronnie Biggs vocal track heard on The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle.

In addition, a DVD will be featured, packed with extras including videos, vintage interviews with all of the band's principal members (vocalist Lydon, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassists Glen Matlock and punk icon Sid Vicious) and live footage, including the band's infamous trek down the River Thames on the day of the Jubilee festivities. Extra swag included in the box is a replica of the original A&M single version of "God Save the Queen" (a re-pressing earlier this year earned Lydon's criticism), a 100-page hardback book featuring liner notes written by former MOJO editor Pat Gilbert, and replicas of an original promo poster, stickers and handwritten lyrics to "God Save the Queen."

The set, to be released in the U.K. by Universal Music Group (who now has control of the album instead of Virgin/EMI), streets on September 24. A cut-down double-disc reissue will be available as well. Hit the jump for the full specs on the box!
