Sex Pistols To Reissue Limited Edition "Pretty Vacant" 7"
The Sex Pistols recently announced that the seminal song "Pretty Vacant" will be released as a limited edition 7" picture disc on 2nd July - 35 years to the day of its original release.
Featuring one of the most iconic and distinctive guitar and drum build ups in the history of rock n’roll, topped by Johnny Rotten's bite and snarl, ‘Pretty Vacant’ with its anthemic "and we don’t care!" became another rallying cry throughout the country.
The Sex Pistol’s masterful third single arrived in the wake of the controversy that its predecessor "God Save The Queen" spread across the UK as an antidote to the Queen’s Silver Jubilee.
Upon its original release 35 years ago, "Pretty Vacant" reached the top ten in the UK charts and unlike the previous two singles – "Anarchy in the UK" and "God Save The Queen" – Top Of The Pops could not ignore them, broadcasting a now iconic video of the band performing the classic song on their show. The Pistols did not appear in the BBC studio and it is widely accepted the promo video was given to the show without the band's consent.
Only 3500 limited edition 7" picture discs will be available via the Universal Music. Their legendary album ‘Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols’ will also be re-issued in September of this year as an expanded and repacked release to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of its release. More details on the reissue will follow shortly.

Vinyl’s Divine - The Devil’s Dove and Great Zeus’ Beard unveil new albums

Vinyl Revitalization Party
Fri.-Sat., 6/29-30
The Calico Room
107 S. Front St.
Tripp Murphy grew up listening to vinyl records. When he was a kid, there wasn’t YouTube for viewing music videos. There wasn’t iTunes for instantly downloading tracks onto a teensy handheld device. For Murphy, vinyl is enthralling because of the satisfaction that comes from unleashing the record from its sleeve, placing the disc upon its platter, and lowering the needle. He used to stare at his records, enveloping himself in the pleasure of holding something in his hands he could feel, understanding that the artist exerted real effort—not taking their creative process and diligence for granted.
The aesthetic qualities are emotionally gripping; vinyl truly does allow for a more fufilling listening experience. "MP3s are compressed, and they literally take tiny fragments of data out of it to make it smaller," Matt Keen, owner of Gravity Records, explains. "They take bits and pieces here and there out in these algorithms to where they hope that your ear won’t hear it. The more compressed it is, the lower bit rate it is, the more you can hear it. Vinyl is all analog. It’s full wave—there are no pieces missing. It has the full spectrum of sound."
For some, vinyl is about the memories. For the young ones, it’s about engaging oneself in an entirely different—and more realistic—listening experience. Both will revel in vinyl bliss this weekend, as The Calico Room (owned by Murphy) unleashes the Vinyl Revitalization Party.
