Never Mind The Bollocks was released in shops on October 28, 1977. The band had recently sacked bass player Glen Matlock before recording with Sid Vicious.

Steve Jones played the bass parts after the band's signing with A&M was not successful. Holidays In The Sun was the band's first post-Matlock composition and the album opener. Anarchy In The UK is listed as the album's number two track, and God Save The Queen is ranked as the album's top track by the reviewer.

Pretty Vacant was the Pistols' third single. By spring 1977 the Sex Pistols were the biggest news in British music, despite having released only one single, while The Clash, The Damned, The Jam and others already had debut albums out by then.
