Synopsis

Album Description
20 track standard version. There aren't many of his so-called musical piers that could boast a back catalogue as strong or diverse as John Lydon's. Whether it be with the Sex Pistols, Public Image Limited, Leftfield or as a solo artist he has made some remarkable records, and this single CD standard edition and its companion double CD special edition drawn together for the first time all the tracks that make John Lydon so special. 'Anarchy in the UK' , 'Public Image', 'This is Not a Love Song', 'Open Up'. These are just the first 4 tracks in what is a musical tour de force. Other standout tracks include "Holiday's In The Sun", "Flowers of Romance" and the immortal "God Save The Queen". Through his work with the Pistols and PiL right through to his solo work Lydon has left his unmistakable stamp on everything he has touched be it through his powerful lyric, his snarling vocal or it's relentless anti melody. He has bridged rock, dance and of course punk and has truly left an indelible mark on music of the last 30 years. Virgin. 2005.

CD Reviews

Handy comp covering the whole of Lydon's career
Chet L. Young | 12/25/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Spanning three decades and featuring singles from the Sex Pistols, Public Image Limited, Lydon's post-PiL solo career and a couple of collaborations with other artists, "The Best of British One Pound Notes" is a must for any John Lydon fan--particularly if you want to hear the highlights of PiL's spotty later albums. (Yes, this collection is very PiL-intensive, but that's only natural since the group was around from 1978 to 1992, and since they had so many first-rate songs.) Very nice single-disc career retrospective! My only complaint has to do with the edits necessary to fit all this music onto one CD. The "fools and horses" verse has been cut from the conclusion of 'Disappointed', one of my all-time favorite PiL songs, and I'm...well, disappointed :( Otherwise, "Best of British One Pound Notes" is a pleasure to hear from start to finish."
