Sex Pistols - The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle

Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)
Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Strong VG+ copy all around
 

Notes:

This is the first pressing ('Version 1'), featuring 23 songs across 22 tracks. Though listed separately on the labels and inside-gatefold track list, A3 & A4 are one continuous take and are banded together as one track, with a combined time of 6:20. 

This version's distinguishing attributes:
The sleeve has red text along the spine, and no track listing on the rear sleeve.
The labels have no rim text at the top (later pressings' rim texts apologize for the incorrect track listing on the sleeve).
'Who Killed Bambi?' does not appear on this version, neither on its discs nor its track listings.

The track listing on the inside gatefold is not in anything like a correct order. It omits 'Rock Around the Clock' altogether, and lists 'Johnny B. Goode' and 'Roadrunner' as two separate tracks. It also mis-titles 'No one is Innocent' as 'Cosh The Driver', 'Friggin' In The Riggin' as 'The Good Ship Venus', and 'C'mon Everybody' as 'Come On Everybody'.

Note that some Version 1 sleeves included the Version 2 discs (with the amended running order), as well as a paper insert listing the amended track list, and in some cases stickers too – including a star-shaped sticker which incorrectly states '20 New Tracks' instead of 21. However, just to confuse matters, the version listed here as matrix/runout Variant 2 contains both the original version 1 discs and the paper insert.

Also note that not all tracks from the film are on this soundtrack album, and not all the tracks on the album were featured in the final released version of the film.
