Sex Pistols sign to Universal for 35th anniversary bollocks
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 28 February 2012
The Sex Pistols have signed a new deal with Universal Music’s catalogue division for the release of a 35th anniversary edition of their ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ album worldwide, excluding North America.
Says John Lydon, in typically modest fashion: “Music can be great, when done by the great. The Sex Pistols are the greatest. Universal now has a trophy room. Music is the imitation of nature. The Sex Pistols are nature”. Karen Simmonds, MD of UMC UK added: “To be given the opportunity to re-evaluate The Sex Pistols catalogue is every music lover’s dream. We’re looking forward to working with the band and celebrating their impact on worldwide culture”.
Details of the anniversary release are due to be announced shortly, with other events and Sex Pistols releases apparently also in the pipeline.
