Discovered this little gem yesterday at Looney Tunes CDs in West Babylon, NY. A mint conditioned original copy of The Sex Pistol’s “Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s The…” LP circa 1977. This is not a reissue either. This is probably one of the coolest pieces of art I own. Before iTunes, MP3 files, digital remastering, and even compact discs - there was just this. It is such a cool feeling to hold a piece of rock ‘n roll history in your hands - or should I say punk rock history?
“The album - like a painting, like a book, like a sculpture, like a photograph - is a piece of work. And we’ve gotten so away from that now because of the way we view music, the way we view albums. We pick them apart, we just buy the songs that we want. Which is cool but, it breaks up the art work. It breaks up the total expression.” - Lenny Kravitz
