“The Great Rock N Roll Swindle” by Sex Pistols - album review
| features in: (B-list) Album Chart of 1979 ● (B-list) Album Chart of the 1970s |
God knows how the hell McLaren managed to put together this album. With no Johnny Rotten and a useless Sid Vicious, he conjured up all sorts of craziness with Ronnie Biggs, Eddie Tenpole, some orchestra, and pulled an unlikely gem out of the bag. Despite some inevitable 2nd rate moments The Swindle is full of all-time classics. Don’t thing Lydon will agree, mind…
