Today is the anniversary of the release of the Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the UK"

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

Originally released on EMI in the UK on 26 November 1976 It wasn't the first record* in the genre that would come to be known as "punk rock," but it was arguably the most important. If you have an original showing Chris Thomas as the producer of the B side, "I Wanna Be Me," nice one!**

1. Virgin Records first big signing (after EMI and A&M dumped them)

2. Yes, that single has been re-released numerous times.

Discogs.com lists 55 versions, and that probably isn't all of them. A friend once showed me a version from Argentina with a unique pictures sleeve.
