Signed, Sealed & Sex Pistoled!

By Josh | Published 08/16/2011

I know autographed LPs have been discussed here before and that a lot of people dont like them, but I am a fan. Its geeky and not punk, but I still think its kind of cool to have signatures of the person that created something on it be it a record or a book or something else.

That being said, I’m not so sure about the signed ‘Never Mind the Bollocks’ LP that collie-tree is selling. I am far from an expert on autographs or the Sex Pistols for that matter, but something about these signatures just looks off.

The biggest thing I question is would Sid bother to sign his full name ‘Sid Vicious’ or would he just sign ‘SID’? Also all the signatures look to close to the same in some ways.

Well… like I said, I’m no expert and collie-tree had a lot of other records for sale, but I would say buyer beware on this one even if you try to shoot him a low ball offer.

This is an original and a reissue of the 2nd release from Johnny Rottens post Sex Pistols project, Public Image Limited.

‘Metal Box’ was originally released by Virgin Records in November 23rd, 1979 as three 12″ records packaged in a film canister. It was re-released in 1980 as a double LP in a gatefold sleeve under the name ‘Second Edition’. Only 60,000 (50,000 in the UK and 10,000 in the US) of the original ‘Metal Box’ sets were produced.

The second auction is for a sealed copy of the 2006 reissues of ‘Metal Box’. This time Runt Distrobution teamed up with the ’4 Men With Beards’ label and 5000 (all in the US) were produced making it rarer, but not as desirable as the original release.
