The Great Rock ’n’ Roll Swindle

~ Release by Sex Pistols (see all versions of this release, 12 available)

Annotation

1990s reordered track list, changed some recording versions (Anarchy in the UK is the 3:32 version)

THIS RELEASE IS ALL KINDS OF WRONG. TRACK LIST DOES NOT MATCH THE 1990s \ CDVDX edition.

Will attempt to repair and clean this up then merge it into the correct 1993 edition to maintain the MBIDs.

Track list now fixed, next step merger...

ANY ONE WITH THIS EDITION NEEDS TO RETAG YOU MUSIC!! 😁
