Classic Albums - Series 1 Ep. 20 - The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks

Episode Info

Synopsis

In exclusive interviews with John Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock we tell this incredible story, and take a track by track look at the making of the album. John Lydon gives his unique take on the songs, his lyrical inspirations and the whole Pistols phenomenon. Steve and Glen demonstrate riffs and licks from the songs, and explain the development of the music. Chris Thomas (producer) and Bill Price (producer/engineer) set the record straight about the recording sessions and return to the original multitrack tapes for evidence of the band’s dynamic musicianship. There are also contributions from ‘mis-manager’ Malcolm McLaren, live sound engineer Dave Goodman, journalists and record executives at the time.
