The Best of British £1 Notes |

October 3rd 2005 sees the release of John Lydon: 'The Best of British £1 Notes.' A unique new singles compilation covering John's whole career from the Sex Pistols, through PiL, to his solo records and collaborations; and ending with a brand new track: 'The Rabbit Song.' 'The Best of British £1 Notes' is released as a standard single CD, and a limited edition 2 CD 'special edition' featuring a bonus disc of 12" mixes and album tracks specially picked by John. All newly remastered. There is also an additional DVD release featuring a collection of promo videos, along with some great bonus material such as Sex Pistols live footage, and unreleased PiL studio mixes from 'Metal Box.' Again, all completely restored and re-mastered. For at least the time being the compilations are only being released in the UK and Europe by Virgin / EMI Records, however, I'm sure worldwide John Lydon fans are so resourceful and intelligent that they will figure out how to find a copy. It's not exactly a jungle is it… The stunning artwork for all editions was created by John especially for the compilation. Look carefully. It certainly isn't a case of the emperor's new clothes… 'The Rabbit Song' is taken from John's work-in-progress second solo album. He's described the track as a way of encompassing his career so far. He's 50 in 2006 but promises the best is yet to come. Going by what's on offer there is no doubt John Lydon can still "have it". There have been Sex Pistols compilations, and there have been PiL compilations – and very good they were too – but there's never been anything quite like this. See the links above for full tracklistings, and release info etc. You'll also find further information in our feature review's of the CD & DVD; as included in the Press section above. We advise to read our's first; then the press sillyness for full effect! And don't forget to get all the Rabbit from the man himself in our special 'The Best of British £1 Notes' interview. |
