According to
Billboard.com,
Rhino will release the
SEX PISTOLS live DVD
"There'll Always Be An England" in the U.S. on October 14.
Released in Europe this past June,
"England" features the pioneering punk outfit's original lineup of
Johnny Rotten,
Steve Jones,
Paul Cook and
Glen Matlock performing at November 2007 reunion shows at London's Brixton Academy. Directed by
Julien Temple, this film is a brilliant, faithful, and utterly honest document of the warts-and-all 30th anniversary shows, complete with flubs, forgotten lyrics, and is an authentic recreation of the shows themselves, which were, by any standards, utterly successful, according to
Amazon.com. The concert is short — 77 minutes including bonus track
"Roadrunner" — but then again, the
PISTOLS only had 24 songs and almost all of them are here. Also includes the documentary entitled
"The Knowledge", which features the four
PISTOLS individually interviewed as they tour around London, visiting sites of historical interest: their rehearsal rooms are now offices, the site of their first gig an art workshop, each bookended with their own, individual commentary.
Also on October 14,
Rhino will release the band's landmark 1977 debut,
"Never Mind the Bollocks", on 180-gram vinyl.
