VA - The Many Faces of Sex Pistols [2013] 

(3 x CDs)

The Sex Pistols didn’t just shake up music, they completely tore down the 

rulebook and rewrote it in chaotic, rebellious fashion. 

Decades after their explosive debut, their influence can still be heard in 

modern punk and beyond. The Many Faces of Sex Pistols is a fascinating 

deep dive into the band’s history, exploring their raw beginnings, 

infamous breakup, and the lesser-known musical paths that followed.

This 3CD collection, released in 2013, offers a mix of early demos, 

live performances, alternate versions, 

and solo recordings from Sid Vicious. 

The first disc features recordings from various sources, including the legendary

 Gooseberry Sessions. 

The second disc brings a rare find, the complete transfer of Dave Goodman’s 

1992 album Deny, a hard-to-come-by artifact of British punk history. 

The third disc collects additional material, including tracks from Sid’s time at Max's Kansas 

City, 

though the quality varies. One of the most intriguing parts of this set is the inclusion of the 

Ex Pistols, a project spearheaded by Dave Goodman after the original band’s split. 

Their recordings have long 

been considered one of the hidden treasures of British punk, offering an alternative 

take on the Pistols’ energy and style.

Packaged in a tri-fold Digipak with catchy artwork, liner notes, and newly 

remastered sound, 

The Many Faces of Sex Pistols isn’t just for fans, it’s a must-have for anyone 

interested in the wild, unpredictable world of rock history. 

Whether you know every riff by heart or are just diving into 

their legacy, this collection captures the spirit of a band that refused to play by the rules.
