The Sex Pistols Release "Anarchy in The UK"!

On This Date, November 26th, in 1976: The Sex Pistols released their debut single “Anarchy in the U.K.,” from the very excellent album, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols. Anarchy…” peaked at number 38 on the UK singles chart but did not chart in the US. In 2007, the band’s surviving members (not including Bassist Glen Matlock) re-recorded the song for the video game  Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock because the masters could not be found.

Happy Birthday, Glen Matlock!
