Sex Pistols Bollocks 40

40 years after Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols charged into record stores, Virgin and Universal Music Catalogue are bringing a box set version of the set back into print--and they've also recently expanded a collection of interview excerpts for hardcore fans, too. Five years ago, Virgin/Universal expanded Never Mind The Bollocks as a deluxe box set which featured the original remastered album, a disc of studio rarities, a live disc and a DVD of performances and vintage

virgin 40

Virgin Records, one of England's most iconic labels, turns 40 this year - and they're celebrating with a new compilation full of hits from their storied existence. The Virgin label was largely the brainchild of one young businessman named Richard Branson. The London-born Branson began his career selling records by mail order and later opening a shop on Oxford Street. The Virgin label was blessed with early success thanks to a willingness to sign acts that major U.K. labels were keen to dismiss.

sex pistols never mind

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

god save the queen

The Sex Pistols' controversial single "God Save the Queen" is getting repressed for its 35th anniversary on May 28. Universal Music Catalogue in the U.K. will re-release the single, a month after repressing "Anarchy in the U.K." for Record Store Day and four months before reissuing the band's Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols. It is unknown if the single, released alongside the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977, will feature "No Feeling," the original B-side on the extremely rare

cash bird

Yesterday, February 26, would have been the 80th birthday of Johnny Cash, and his family tells Rolling Stone that there are quite a few festivities planned - and that includes some catalogue activity. We already know about Legacy's Bootleg IV: The Soul of Truth in April, which collects rare and unreleased gospel material from the '70s and '80s. But the RS story also hints at a possible seventh volume of Cash's American Recordings series as well as a possible PopMarket-style box of "everything
