Reviews & Opinions

DEANNE PEARSON, SMASH HITS, JUNE 1980: "The Swindle continues…the song isn’t even in the film", the sleeve proudly announces underneath the advertisement for The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle. Heed those first few words, please, you may love the S(ex) Pistols for nostalgic reasons or whatever, but this record is unlistenable through its deliberately distorted, destructive production job. THERE IS NO SONG TO LISTEN TO – don’t be swindled again!

Additional Notes

A-Side from The Great Rock N Roll Swindle. The B-Side is a trailer for the film with a voice over by John Snagge, a BBC announcer and commentator.
