The Sex Pistols are reissuing their live album Filthy Lucre Live on vinyl to mark the 30th anniversary of their 1996 reunion. The original album captured the June 23, 1996 show at Finsbury Park in London. That night reunited the band’s original lineup: Johnny Rotten (John Lydon), Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock. It was their first show since the band split during the 1978 U.S. tour.
Filthy Lucre Live features classics like “Anarchy in the U.K.” and “God Save the Queen.” The new two-LP red vinyl, due Nov. 20, also includes two tracks that were previously only Japanese bonus tracks: a cover of The Stooges’ “No Fun” and “Buddies,” a crowd sing-along version of “Bodies.”
Guitarist Steve Jones says the show proved the Pistols could still play and that they were “a powerhouse.” Drummer Paul Cook says the gig was about bringing the original lineup together behind Never Mind The Bollocks and showing what they could do.
Filthy Lucre Live Expanded Edition (30th Anniversary) is available for preorder now.
