Very good CD

"I love the Sex Pistols. They are a very good group of musicians, and were at their best live. This CD contains two discs, one featuring live tracks, and another featuring demo versions of songs of "Nevermind....", and two previously unreleased tracks. The first disc, the studio tracks, is very good. It seem weird to hear my favorite songs in different forms. For example, "Anarchy in the UK" is much, much slower, and it's easier to make out the words for new fans. The only problem I found with this is the bad production, but that should be expected since these are demos. The live disc is good, but it isn't the greatest live recording. It's hard to make out what Rotten is saying, but they do some non-Pistols songs, like "Stepping Stone" by the Monkees, and that novelty alone is almost worth the admission. Overall, if you can listen to the production of "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, this CD should be no problem for anybody to listen to. I would reccomend this to any fan of the Pistols."
