Like the 60s the 70s were also a pivotal decade for great music. Halfway punk
made a monumental impact amidst a series of classic rock albums. In this new Ultimate Record Collectione EditioUNCUT ranks and reviews no less than 500 LPs.

Some time last year original Sex Pistols, bassist Glen Matlock, drummer Paul Cook
and fireworks guitarist Steve Jones were asked to play a fundraiser for London’s
historical, small Bush Hall venue in Shepherd’s Bush (where Cook and Jones
grew up together).
It was out of the question that Johnny Forgotten Rotten, who sued them over
a Sex Pistols docu’s soundtrack would join them. Enter fast and furious rattlesnake Frank Carter. They did the fundraiser gig and raving reviews went viral.
To huge public demand, the 4-piece decided to do more
shows, including some festival appearances this summer.
Last weekend they played the iconic 100 Club in London, almost 50 years after their
first historic gig in there. And it was a punk-pogo triumph with Carter having a blast.
“How many of you lot were here the first time round? What a dream – five fucking decades later and they’re back. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to share the stage with these legends tonight.”
Holidays in the 100 Club. Hell yeah!
Noel Gallagher and his buddy Paul Weller came
out too to experience the historic moment.

Never mind the bollocks, here’s Frank.
Original SEX PISTOLS Paul Cook (drummer), Glen Matlock (bassist) and Steve
Jones (guitarist) played a gig to raise funds for London’s historical, small Bush Hall
venue in Shepherd’s Bush (where Jones and Cook grew up) last year. They recruited
fab loudmouth Frank Carter of Frank Carter And The Rattlesnakes.
Several other gigs followed quickly and this year they’ll perform
at the yearly musical event for Teenage Cancer Trust in the historic Royal Albert Hall in London.
The SEX PISTOLS released their controversial debut single ANARCHY IN THE U.K.,
one of the fiercest punk anthems ever, on 26 November 1976, 48 years ago today.
It was originally issued in a plain black sleeve and peaked at #38 on the UK Singles
Chart, although it was either ignored or negatively received by the music press.
Their label EMI dropped the band a few months later, in January 1977.
Their manager at the time, the lateMalcolm McLaren said the song was
“a call to arms to the kids who believe that rock and roll was taken away from
them. It’s a statement of self rule, of ultimate independence.”
In a new NME interview with Glenn Matlock (68 now), the former pistols’ bassist
said about the politically far-right turned Johnny Forgotten Rotten: “He wrote some
great lyrics, but did he really mean ‘em? Ah, that’s the thing. I never found him that
sincere.”
