OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE: 11.26.76 on EMI Records Cat No EMI 2566  

A side. Anarchy In The UK

B side. I Wanna Be Me

Produced by Chris Thomas

Recorded at Wessex Studios, London, October 1976

Vocals: John Rotten

The Sex Pistols debut 7" single released on EMI Records in November 1976. Despite being banned from radio and receiving many negative reviews the record reached Number 38 in the UK charts before being withdrawn by the record company.

Now widely regarded as the definitive punk anthem it is important to understand the impact the single had on its release and remember the subject matter. 'Anarchy in the UK' sounded like nothing that had came before and unleashed the Pistols to a wider audience. An audience probably more used to chart toppers like Showaddywaddy and Abba! Things would never be the same again...

The single was released on 7" only, and originally issued in a plain black sleeve, before being reissued in a standard EMI sleeve after initial copies mis-credited production of the b-side to Chris Thomas instead of Dave Goodman.

This is a Promo Copy - A promotional copy of this item that was issued before it was available for general sale.

This single is in mint condition and Im almost certain it is unplayed, I owned it from the original promo release date sometime in November 1976.

The original black sleeve is showing slight wear and tear and creases, but this does not detract from the quality of the original vinyl single.
