This two-volume set serves as the soundtrack to Julien Temple's Sex Pistols biopic of the same name. The discs, like the film, pay homage to the Pistols in a wider context by including some of the music that surrounded and inspired the group. Though it is unlikely that anyone interested in purchasing this artifact really needs another copy of the Who's "Pictures of Lily" or Roxy Music's "Virginia Plain," the songs by other artists do help emphasize what an absolutely astonishing rock & roll band the Sex Pistols were. While conventional wisdom was that the Sex Pistols could no more play their instruments than an octopus can ice-skate (awful cover versions of the Modern Lovers' "Roadrunner" and the Who's "Substitute" certainly suggest as much), "Pretty Vacant," "God Save the Queen," and "Anarchy in the U.K." still sound disgusted, enraged, and alive. The Sex Pistols were one of the very few rock & roll bands that can rightly claim to have changed the world, and this is a powerful explanation of how they did it. <I>--Andrew Mueller</I>Customer Reviews:
