The Great Rock'N'Roll Swindle is the soundtrack (will follow soon) of the best, in my opinion, Pistols film, it includes also performances by other artists, and the movie tells a stylised fictional account of the formation, rise and subsequent break-up of the band, from the point of view of McLaren. The double record set features a significant number of tracks that omit Lydon entirely; most of them written and recorded after the band broke up. There were a lot of 7inches released and one is this record which only in France appears. Malcolm McLaren, manager of the Sex Pistols, also performed as a solo artist, initially popularising hip hop and world music and later diversifying into funk/disco, the dance fashion for "vogueing" and merging opera with contemporary electronic musical forms. Side a is a quiet ballad I would say while the B-side is the symphonic version of 'God Save The Queen'. I'm sure the most of you have the whole album it's really their second official record and belongs in every decent record collection. Malcolm died on 8.April 2010 in a hospital in Switzerland, R.I.P.
