Product Description

A friendly warning: the 14-track Jubilee cash-in may be many things--but a Sex Pistols "Best Of" is not one of them. The maths is simple: Jubilee features all the singles by the… ahem… Sex Pistols. The actual genius rock & roll band called the Sex Pistols only made four. The bulk of this collection, therefore, comprises the eight punxploitation horrors from The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle soundtrack released by the post-Johnny Rotten band and their desperate puppet-master Malcolm McLaren: "Friggin' in the Riggin'"; the sludge-rock demo version of the Monkees' "Stepping Stone"; the Ronnie Biggs "No One Is Innocent" fiasco; a dreadful version of "Pretty Vacant" from the misguided live 1996 reformation; and the afterthought inclusion of "EMI" only adds insult to injury. Yes, Jubilee does include CD-ROM versions of the "Anarchy", "God Save the Queen" and "Pretty Vacant" videos, and Sid's "My Way" is still quite amusing. But a first-time Pistols buyer needs nothing more than Never Mind The Bollocks. If they buy "Jubilee", they'll be left wondering why punk ever happened. --Garry Mulholland

Es una pasada cada canción por el mensaje que quieren enviar,si te interesa el temas te puede enfadar o sino te ries, les da todo igual. Lo malo que con tanta critica duraron demasiodo poco.

This CD is a wonderful journey back to the time of punk for all the people like me who lived in those years. The booklet tells us a brief history of each single, marking the fundamental steps of the sex pistols carer.
A must buy for every fan of SexPistols

Not a bad collection.
22 Aug 2002
By Sean Wike

Format:Audio CD
This is a decent collection of their work, with the obligitory "God save the queen" and "Anarchy in the U.K.", but there are no real surprises. A nice addition was "EMI", but I have to cry foul for the omission of "Liar". Why leave that out and put the live (much newer version) of "Pretty vacant" on a greatest hits? had "Liar" been on the collection, I would have rated it 4 stars. Bonus points are awarded for "Friggin in the riggin" and "Rock and roll swindle", although I'm a bit of a purist, if Johnny Rotten isn't singing, it isn't the Pistols, but that's just me.
All said, if you are a huge Pistols fan, you probably won't be happy with this, chiefly because you can get most of the songs on other CD's (which you probably already own). If you have never owned a Sex Pistols CD, this wouldn't be a bad start, but you may want to look around for a cheaper version of this, unless you like the "import" stamp on your cd case.

Sex Pistols - 'Jubilee: The Best Of.....' (EMI) 3 1/2 stars
16 April 2007

Format:Audio CD
Good fourteen track release that would not only be like icing on the cake for the completists, but serve as a good introduction to any new and younger fans out there. Essentials like "God Save The Queen", "Anarchy In The UK" and my personal Pistols favorite "Pretty Vacant" are here with several good cuts that either I haven't heard before or I simply don't remember, like "Frigging In The Rigging" and "C'mon Everybody". A nice pick.

The Perfect Introduction
31 Jan 2006
By Benjamin
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This was the first Pistols album that I owened, and it was a bloody good introduction to the band. If the shop had 'Never Mind The Bollocks' I would have bought that, but in a way I'm glad they didnt.
You see, most of the reviews on here say that the majority of the post-Rotten Pistols is bad, I however like most of it, and I probably wouldnt have bothered to look into it if I hadnt heard it on this disc, well at least not for a while anyway.
The only real problem with this is that it includes 'Pretty Vacant' twice. I think they should have supplemented the non-live track for something else, I would have prefered something not on 'Never Mind The Bollocks', because if you consider youself a Pistols fan, you have to own that album, and the less doubling up possible the better.
A good thing is that it ends strong, with a good, catchy Rotten song, 'EMI'. Also 'Friggin in the Riggin' is a good inclusion, as well as 'Silly Thing' with Paul Cook on vocals (Steve sings on the Swindle). The booklet included is fairly helpfull although some of the information in it is incorrect.
All in all, quite a good cd, not as good as 'Never Mind The Bollcoks', but not bad at all. I do not believe the Sex Pistols, with John, ever recorded a bad song, and the best of the post-Rotten songs are included here as well. There is not a bad song on here. This is probably the most usefull compilation of the Sex Pistols I've seen, as it spans their entire career.
Theyre not trying to hide anything here.
