Sex Pistols, NMTB, 1st 1000.

[timofred]

I have stumbled upon what I regard the "holy grail" of Sex Pistols albums.
Never Mind The Bollocks.
1 of the first 1000.
Everything I have researched tells me it is the real thing.

It's cover, label, matrix number A1 / B1, EVERYTHING.
I'm writing this at 3am because I can't sleep, I'm that excited.
And it's my birthday today, what a present from the music deities.

Very cool! Where did you find this gem?

 

[timofred]

A local pawn shop, cost the same as a couple packs of smokes.

 

[spartanmanor]

Cool. What kind of shape is it in?

 

[timofred]

Not mint, but VG to excellent.

I've got a few original singles but nothing as rare as what you just picked up.

Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen (Virgin - VS 181) 7", Single 1977
Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant (Warner Bros. Records - WBS 8516) 7", Single 1977

If the back cover is blank, that's the one.

One fewer track and a different order too, as I recall.

Congrats, it's an iconic record. I have one I purchased new, still has the JEM Imports sticker on it. Damn, I'm old.

Nice grab.
