To celebrate thirty years since the release of their seminal album 'Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols', on November 5th, 2007 Demon VISION is releasing a brand new DVD documentary 'Never Mind The Sex Pistols: An Alternative History' chronicling the rise and fall of one of the most important bands to come out of the UK.
Watch movie clip from the DVD!
Direction is provided by Alan Parker, a leading expert and acclaimed Sex Pistols biographer with titles including Sid's Way, Expose: Sex Pistols recording guide and Sid Vicious: 21st Century Icon.
The film charts the rise of the band, from their early days at Malcolm's shop 'Sex' to their first gigs, and subsequent record deals. The significance of the arrival of Sid Vicious is dealt with as well as the untimely demise of the band. Never Mind The Sex Pistols... also includes exclusive footage of Malcolm McLaren revealing for the first time that he never wanted to make the album in the first place!
