Sex Pistols catalogue snapped up by Universal

Universal Music UK has signed the catalogue of the Sex Pistols for the world excluding North America.
An expanded and repackaged edition of Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols is now scheduled for release later in 2012 to commemorate its 35th anniversary.

UMC is also planning events and other releases throughout 2012 and beyond.

“To be given the opportunity to re-evaluate the Sex Pistols catalogue is every music lover’s dream, said UMC UK MD Karen Simmonds. “We’re looking forward to working with the band and celebrating their impact on worldwide culture.”

John Lydon responded with a little turn of verse:

Music can be great, when done by the great.

The Sex Pistols are the greatest.

Universal now has a trophy room,

Music is the imitation of nature,

The Sex Pistols are nature,

So please give generously.

Thank You

Johnny Rotten
